Floral, mineral and quietly textural

Fontanasanta is Foradori’s distinctive expression of Manzoni Bianco, a crossing of Riesling and Pinot Bianco grown across five hectares in the hills above Trento. The variety thrives in Fontanasanta’s calcareous clay soils, combining Riesling’s mineral drive and acidity with the fragrance and gentle breadth of Pinot Bianco.

The fruit was fermented on skins in cement tanks before ageing for seven months in acacia casks. This thoughtful approach builds texture and savoury depth while preserving the wine’s freshness, floral character and clear sense of place.

The palate balances body and energy, with delicate florals, subtle fruit and a deeply mineral core. Fresh acidity carries the wine into a long, savoury finish. Foradori recommends patience, with Fontanasanta Manzoni Bianco revealing its full character two to three years after harvest.

Why we love it

Floral, textural and beautifully mineral, bringing together the freshness of Riesling and the gentle elegance of Pinot Bianco.

About the Wine

Nosiola is an ancient Trentino grape variety, once spread throughout the region and whose cultivation has since been restricted to the areas of Valle dei Laghi, Colline di Trento and Pressano. It is a variety that expresses itself intensely in poor soil vineyards, cultivating wines of great delicacy and longevity.

In the past, Nosiola was always vinified on the skins. The possibility of cultivating ‘real’ grapes, rich in energy thanks to the biodynamic practices undertaken in the vineyard and the extraordinary strength of the amphora, means that now we have the possibility to undertake an ancient style of winemaking. The amphora (Tinaja from Villarrobledo, Spain), with its shape and the porosity of the clay that it is made from, allows the wine to be in contact with the skins over a longer period of time. This is the true expression of the Nosiola, which is revealed slowly, requiring patience and time.

This is a table wine that expresses itself best after breathing for a long period and served at least 15 degrees.

About the Winemaker
Elisabetta Foradori is largely responsible for resurrecting Trentino’s much forgotten Teroldego grape from the brink of extinction, and producing some of Italy’s finest, most age-worthy wines. The Foradori Granato is consistently recognised as the international benchmark for Teroldego, and Elisabetta’s commitment to creating terroir-driven wines has made her a leading figure in biodynamics and Italy’s natural wine movement.

From her first vintage as a 20 year-old graduate in 1984, Elisabetta has sought to improve the quality and depth of the family estate’s wines. From careful massale selection of the estate’s Teroldego vines in 1985 in order to cultivate 15 clones in diverse microclimates, to the early adoption of amphora as a way to enable extended skin contact, to early conversion to biodynamics in 2002, Elisabetta has constantly pushed boundaries. All wines are wild fermented with indigenous yeast and Demeter certified.
