How to serve it
Tasting notes
Deep straw yellow with golden glints from the skin contact. The nose combines ripe pear, chamomile, dried apricot and a honeyed, herbal note from the acacia wood. On the palate it is textured and savoury, with fine tannic grip, bright acidity and a long, slightly bitter almond finish that gains depth with air.
About this wine
Foradori is one of the reference names of Trentino, run by Elisabetta Foradori and her children and farmed biodynamically since the early 2000s. The Fontanasanta vineyards sit on the clay-limestone hills above Trento, a site the family chose specifically for white grapes.
Manzoni Bianco is a crossing of Riesling and Pinot Bianco, and here it is vinified the old way: the grapes ferment on their skins in cement tanks, then the wine rests for about seven months in acacia casks. The result is a white with texture and grip rather than simple fruit.
According to the estate the wine opens slowly and reaches its best form at least three years after harvest, so it rewards a little patience in the cellar.
