Foradori Fuoripista Pinot Grigio is made from carefully farmed fruit with biodynamic principles, enabling good structure and acidity that support medium-term aging well beyond typical Pinot Grigio whites that often are consumed young. The 2020 vintage’s favorable quality in Trentino enhances its ability to develop complexity.
