Description: A bold white wine from the Dolomites. This is a cross between Riesling and Pinot Bianco for the foothills of the Dolomites. Lovely golden appearance due to some time on its skins. Delicate and aromatic, showing white flowers and stone fruits. Generous on the palate, with apricots, peaches and the slightest savoury nuttiness.
Elisabetta Foradori has become one of Italy’s superstar winemakers. All the Foradori vineyards lie in the side valley of Campo Rotaliano, and it is from these beautiful vineyards that Elisabetta Foradori is quietly producing some of Italy’s most complex, deep and compelling wines. She converted to biodynamics in 2000 and gradually changed her winemaking to a more minimalist, “natural” approach.
