Current condition

Fresh with bright acidity and emerging complexity

Due to the naturally high acidity of Nosiola and the biodynamic practices employed by Foradori, this wine develops slowly and maintains freshness and structure for many years. The 2021 vintage’s good ripeness balanced with acidity suggests a typical 8-10 year window to showcase evolution.

Food pairing

Pairs well with roasted chicken, trout almondine, mild cheeses, and vegetarian dishes with mushrooms or seasonal vegetables.
