Foradori Fontanasanta Manzoni Bianco, Dolomiti, Italy, 2021

100% Manzoni Bianco. Foradori practices biodynamic farming. Fermentation is spontaneous with indigenous yeasts and without sulfur in cement and steel tanks; maceration with the skins lasts 3-4 days. The wine goes through malo and is aged in used acacia barrels for about 7 months. It is bottled without fining or filtering and with the wine's only very small dose of sulfur. Intense scents of peach, pears, spices, flowers, honey, and caramel are present in the bouquet along with a distinct mineral tinge. On the palate, it starts off with outstanding balance and structure. The outstanding acidity backbone and mineral profile balance out the delicate and luscious components.
