2016 Foradori, Nosiola "Fontanasanta" IGT Vigneti delle Dolomiti 1.5L Magnum, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy Simonis This is an extraordinary wine

This is an extraordinary wine that will change any preconceived notions you may have about Primitivo and balance in wine

This shows a continuing increase in the amount of Cabernet Franc in the vineyard and of course in the final blend as well

Fermented with native yeasts

Whole cluster maceration for 2 to 3 days

Lovely focus and grip on the long

2016 Foradori, Nosiola "Fontanasanta" IGT Vigneti delle Dolomiti 1.5L Magnum, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy Simonis This is an extraordinary wine100% Nosiola. Foradori works 2 hectares of this ancient local variety in the Fontanasanta vineyard at about 400 meters above the city of Trento, a few miles down valley from the Foradori estate in Mezzolombardo. The vines are on clay limestone soils, lower on the hills than the Manzoni Bianco vines that the Foradoris also tend here. The farming is organic. Importer's note
