Fuoripista Pinot Grigio Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2024

Wine Description for Fuoripista Pinot Grigio Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2024 by Foradori

Colour & Appearance

An immediately striking sight: the glass reveals a luminous pomegranate red – an unmistakable statement that this Pinot Grigio abandons every convention. Clear, profound, with a velvety radiance.

Nose

Expressive and multi-layered. Rose hip and wild raspberry open the bouquet, accompanied by vibrant orange zest and an entire array of Mediterranean herbs. Stony, mineral undertones lend depth and gravitas to the nose. Sweet fruit and compact spice hold one another in perfect equilibrium – far, far removed from everything one typically associates with the name Pinot Grigio.

Palate

The first sip is a surprise: piquant liveliness and a gripping, tannic structure that one simply does not expect from this variety. The tannins – the result of prolonged skin contact – never feel intrusive, but rather give the wine backbone and character. Herbal freshness runs like a thread through the palate, whilst the moderate alcohol of 12.5% underscores the elegance without weighing it down. A wine that invites contemplation.

Finish

Long, saline-mineral, with lingering herbal spice and a hint of dried flowers. The finish confirms: here, the aim was not to please, but to speak truth.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes hail from Campo Rotaliano in Trentino, a plateau between the Dolomites and the Adige Valley, renowned for its mineral-rich soils and pronounced alpine climate. A terroir that inscribes freshness and tension into every wine.

Variety & Vinification

Pure Pinot Grigio, vinified according to biodynamic principles in close collaboration between Elisabetta Foradori and winemaker Marco Devigili. More than eight months of skin fermentation and ageing in Tinajas (clay amphorae) – a decision that lends this delicate Pinot Grigio surprising depth, structure and colour, without obscuring its natural finesse.

Food Pairing Suggestions

This wine demands table and conversation. Wonderful with grilled octopus with herb oil, vitello tonnato, pasta with wild herbs and ricotta or a rustic antipasto platter with cured meats and aged cheese. Also as a meditation wine – entirely alone, without food – a revelation.

Special Features

The name Fuoripista – Italian for “off the beaten track” – is a statement of intent: this wine consistently and completely refuses the mass-market image of Pinot Grigio. An orange wine with soul, born from the courage of two winemakers who dared to reimagine the variety.
