How to serve it
Tasting notes
Amber-tinged gold, slightly hazy. Aromas of dried apricot, orange peel, hazelnut, chamomile and a saline, earthy note from the amphora. The palate is dry and tactile, with gentle tannins from the skins, lively acidity and a long, savoury finish of nuts and bitter orange. It gains complexity after decanting.
About this wine
Nosiola is an ancient native grape of Trentino that was once traditionally fermented with its skins. Foradori, the biodynamic estate of Elisabetta Foradori and her family, revives that approach with fruit from the Fontanasanta vineyards on the clay-limestone hills above Trento.
The wine spends eight months on the skins in Spanish clay amphorae (tinajas) from Villarrobledo. The porous clay allows a slow, gentle extraction and a soft exchange with oxygen, which gives the wine its characteristic skin-contact structure without heaviness.
This is a refined, long-lived white that needs generous aeration to show fully: decant it ahead of time and serve it no colder than 15 °C.
