Fontanasanta Nosiola Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2018 1500ml

Wine Description for Fontanasanta Nosiola Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2018 1500ml by Foradori

Colour & Appearance

A luminous, clear pale yellow, suffused with vital green reflections.

Nose

In its youth, this Nosiola displays aristocratic restraint and demands aeration. After decanting, a meditative calm unfolds: not forward fruit, but the austere elegance of apple skins, quinces and small pears. This is underpinned by a spicy depth of sage and wild herbs.

Palate

On the palate, Foradori’s true mastery reveals itself. Despite a modest 10.5% ABV, the wine possesses a remarkable “punch” and a creamy texture from fine lees ageing. It is phenolically firm, tautly structured and displays a precisely woven arc of acidity. A wine with depth and enormous bass, yet dancing feather-light across the tongue.

Finish

Long-lasting, purist and characterised by an immense drinking flow. The saline minerality and fine herbal spice linger.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Nosiola, the ancient grape variety of Trentino, harvested from the Fontanasanta vineyards. The biodynamic approach and ageing in amphorae lend it its unmistakable identity.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Excellent with pan-fried pike with creamy leeks, porcini mushroom salad with brown butter or a classic guinea fowl supreme with bacon.

Special Features

The 1500ml magnum bottle underscores the ageing potential of this extraordinary white wine. An intellectual pleasure that rewards patience and attention.
