Foradori Fontanasanta Nosiola 2023

Description

Nosiola is an ancient grape variety native to the Trento area, which is now restricted to the Valle dei Laghi and the hills above Trento and Pressano. It is a variety that gives a strong expression of its character only through the equilibrium found on poor soils, giving rise to wines of great delicacy and longevity. Nosiola has always been fermented on the skins in the past. The ability to obtain grapes that are “alive” and rich with the energy derived from the application of biodynamic agriculture in the vineyard and the extraordinary energetic force of the amphora result in a wine produced according to an “ancient” method. The shape and the porosity of the clay, from which the amphora (tinaja from Villarrobledo, Spain) is made, permit a long stay of the wine on the skins. This wine requires patience and time.

Our awareness of nature’s rhythms and cycles has been perfected through observation over time: each season opens new horizons, every day we learn and understand a little more. We have learned to pay attention, to grasp the subtle differences existing in nature and to preserve the true character of the grape in the expression of its land of origin. Our daily farming gestures are elevated to creative impulses: it is our duty and privilege to wake up every morning and to be free to work according to the message that the earth conveys to us in that moment.

We harvest the grapes from vineyards covering 29 hectares – 70% of Teroldego, 15% of Manzoni Bianco, 5% of Nosiola and 10% of Pinot Grigio – to produce an average of 180.000 bottles per year: 50.000 of Foradori, 20.000 of Granato, 20.000 of Fontanasanta Manzoni Bianco, 10.000 of Fontanasanta Nosiola, 10.000 of Fuoripista Pinot Grigio, 10.000 for each vineyards of Sgarzon and Morei and 50.000 bottles of Lezèr.
