93-Pt Foradori Fontanasanta Nosiola 2018 Wine

Foradori Nosiola 2018 is a distinctive Italian white wine crafted from 100% Nosiola grapes grown in Trentino-Alto Adige’s renowned vineyards. Hailing from the Fontanasanta estate at 400 meters elevation, this biodynamic wine embodies the region’s terroir with clay-limestone soils and meticulous organic farming practices certified by Demeter.

James Suckling’s 93-point rating highlights its complex profile: aromas of stone fruit, baked pear, and green apple mingle with herbal notes of thyme and parsley. While its minimal sulfur use gives a subtle volatile edge, the wine’s full-bodied texture and layered honeyed flavors offer a bold yet balanced drinking experience. Aged for 6–8 months in Spanish clay amphorae followed by a year in vertical tinajas, this skin-contact wine showcases Foradori’s commitment to traditional methods that enhance depth without filtration or fining.

Ideal for those seeking natural wines with authentic character, this IGT Vigneti delle Dolomiti bottling pairs beautifully with earthy dishes like roasted vegetables or herb-crusted fish. At 10.5% alcohol, it strikes a refreshing yet robust balance—perfect for adventurous palates valuing sustainability and minimal intervention winemaking. With its Demeter certification and amphora-aged complexity, this Nosiola stands out among Italian whites for its purity of expression and dedication to organic viticulture.
