Fuoripista Pinot Grigio Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2024

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

Colour & Appearance

A luminous pomegranate seed red in the glass – anyone expecting a conventional Pinot Grigio will be swiftly corrected. This colour is the visible promise of a radically different path.

Nose

Expressive and multi-layered: rosehip and orange meet a bouquet of Mediterranean herbs, wild raspberries and mineral, stony notes. The balance between sweet fruit and compact structure is remarkable – this is Pinot Grigio as you’ve never experienced it before.

Palate

Immediate piquancy and a gripping, almost tactile texture define the first impression. The tannins – yes, tannins! – are present, but perfectly integrated. Herbal freshness enlivens the character, whilst the moderate 12.5% alcohol lends the wine a delicate, almost ethereal elegance. Stimulating, complex, meditative.

Finish

Persistent and herbaceous with fine tannin structure that lingers and invites the next sip.

Terroir & Origin

From Trentino, more precisely from Campo Rotaliano, where Marco Devigili works biodynamically. A collaboration with the legendary winery Foradori, aimed at revealing the true potential of this underestimated grape variety in the Vigneti delle Dolomiti.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pinot Grigio (Grauburgunder), taking a radical path: Over 8 months of skin contact in Tinajas (clay amphorae). This orange-wine-style vinification extracts colour, tannin and texture from the skins, revealing the delicate yet complex character of the variety in an entirely new way.

Food Pairing Suggestions

With grilled fish, Vitello Tonnato, mushroom risotto, hard cheese or spicy Asian dishes. The tannin structure also makes it an intriguing companion for white meat.

Special Features

The name „Fuoripista“ means „off-piste“ – and that is precisely what this wine is: a bold departure from the conventions of industrial Pinot Grigio. Biodynamically produced, natural and a revelation for anyone who thinks they know this grape variety.
