There is no doubt that Elisabetta Foradori is one of the world's most influential winemakers. Her Agricola Foradori is situated in the beautiful Italian Dolomites, where German customs blend with Italian traditions. While big cooperatives have traditionally dominated the industry in the region, Foradori has been a pioneer in biodynamic farming and achieved Demeter certification in 2009.

The estate has been making wine since the 1930s, and Elisabetta has been in charge since 1984. Today, her children Emilio, Theo, and Myrtha lead the estate, bringing new energy and focus. Emilio and Theo are responsible for winemaking and marketing, while Myrtha has developed a vegetable and herb growing program, mainly under the pergolas at the Mezzolombardo vineyard. Under Emilio’s exacting standard the wine have reached a new pinnacle and are the best Foradori has produced to date

Elisabetta and Fam are enthusiastic proponents of organic and biodynamic farming, ensuring that not a single drop of chemical herbicide or pesticide contaminates her wines.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 93
"Closed with a yellow wax capsule, the 2018 Nosiola Fontanasanta shows a light and luminous golden-straw color. Made with extended skin contact in amphorae, the wine presents apricot, honey, white grape skin and bitter almond. Those macerated flavors appear with greater intensity to the palate where the wine boasts the slight bite or crunch of its skin tannins. The wine's nutty, slightly bitter finish is followed by subtle stone fruit, pomelo and apricot. This 2018 vintage show less density compared to the 2017." -Monica Larner
