Description

Product description for Foradori Fontanasanta Nosiola Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT 2023 (bio)

The grapes for Fontanasanta grow on a hill above Trento with clayey-limestone soils. There, the Manzoni Bianco finds perfect ripening conditions and gives the vineyards their maximum expression. The Fontanasanta only reveals its full potential after a good three years and benefits greatly from additional years of bottle aging. Harvested by hand, it undergoes alcoholic fermentation on the skins in cement tanks before aging for a further eight months in used acacia barrels. Annual production averages 25,000 bottles.

Colour

Light straw yellow with a silver rim.

Nose

In its youth, the wine is always somewhat taciturn and requires explosive aeration – so pour it into a decanter, preferably upside down. With increasing aeration, aromas of green hazelnuts and green almonds emerge, before delicate stone fruit notes of cider apples and pears emerge. A bouquet of fresh herbs such as sage and bay leaves, along with some yeast pastries, complete the experience. As always, it exudes a tremendous sense of calm that continues into the glass.

Palate

It is more talkative on the palate: guided by the vibrant acidity that stretches far across the palate, it is flanked by phenolic notes of finely tart tannins, reminiscent of apple and pear skins with their aromatically tart lumps. With a generally winey character and viscous texture, it is already very approachable now, but would enjoy a carafe or two to three years of bottle aging.
