Nosiola, an ancient Trentino grape variety, once faced extension but now is waiting to be (re)-discovered. In the entire region of Trentino, few hectares of Nosiola exist. With the 2020 Fontanasanta, winemaker Elisabetta Foradori showcases Nosiola’s prowess. This is a lip-smacking wine, bursting with acidity and an underpinning of salinity. It offers notes of yellow plum, apricot, Meyer lemon peel with an alpine edge. It is well-structured, rich, and finishes with great finesse and freshness.
