Nosiola is an ancient grape variety native to Trentino, once widespread throughout the region but whose cultivation is now restricted to the Valle dei Laghi and the hills above Trento and Pressano. It is a variety that only through the equilibrium found on poor soils gives a strong expression of its character, giving rise to wines of great delicacy and longevity. Nosiola has always been fermented on the skins in the past. The ability to obtain grapes that are "alive" and rich with the energy derived from the application of biodynamics in the vineyard and the extraordinary energetic force of the amphora, allow us to produce this wine using an “ancient” method. The shape and the porosity of the clay from which the amphora is made permits a long stay of the wine in contact with the skins: thus all of the Nosiola’s character is revealed slowly and with a dynamic that requires patience and time. It should be drunk during a meal after a long aeration and a minimum temperature of 15 degrees.
