The 2009 Nosiola Fontanasanta comes across as a bit eccentric yet beguiling. Intensely floral aromatics dominate the balance in this high-toned white. The volatile acidity is a bit pronounced on the finish. This isn’t a wine for everyone, but readers who want to see the direction the estate is moving in will find much to admire. Foradori aged the Nosiola in terra cotta amphoras. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2015. I have included notes on these new releases from Elisabetta Foradori, even though she is located in Trentino rather than Alto Adige. Foradori continues to push the boundaries when it comes to Teroldego, the main indigenous red variety in Trentino. Biodynamic farming and a non-interventionalist approach to winemaking are at the core of Foradori’s philosophy. Over the last few years Foradori has begun using terra cotta amphoras for a number of her wines. Foradori has also re-introduced two single-vineyard Teroldegos – Sgarzon and Morei – she first made from 1988 to 1999. Both wines emerge from pergola-trained vineyards and are aged in terra cotta amphoras. Readers should do whatever they can to taste these magnificent wines.Importer: Polaner Selections, Mt.
