2022 Foradori, Fontanasanta, Nosiola, Vigneti delle Dolomiti

2022 Fontanasanta Nosiola from Azienda Agricola Foradori is a distinctive white wine crafted from the indigenous Nosiola grape variety, native to Trentino. Sourced from the Fontanasanta hills above Trento, this wine reflects the unique terroir of clay-limestone soils and the area's rich biodiversity. Traditionally linked to the production of 'Vino Santo' in the Valle dei Laghi, Nosiola is now vinified as a dry wine, showcasing its versatility.

In the glass, the Fontanasanta Nosiola presents a pale golden hue. The nose is subtle yet complex, offering aromas of wildflowers, green apple, and a hint of hazelnut—a nod to its name's origin, as "Nosiola" is believed to derive from "nosiol," the local dialect for hazelnut. On the palate, it is elegant and mineral-driven, with a delicate structure and a lingering finish that speaks to its alpine origins.
