Description
100% Pinot Grigio. “Fuoripista” or “off-the-path” is sourced from a fellow biodynamic winegrower on the high Campo Rotaliano plateau on which Foradori’s estate vines lie. These 2 hectares of vines are traditionally pergola-trained on the typical alluvial soils of the zone and are harvested by hand. The wine is made just like Foradori’s Nosiola: the bunches are destemmed and the berries go directly into clay amphorae or tinajas (from J. Padella in Spain), where they ferment spontaneously and macerate for 6-8 months. The wine then spends a brief period in used acacia barrels. It is bottled without fining or filtering and with the wine’s only small dose of sulfur. Like all Foradori wines, the wine is classified as IGT Vigneti delle Dolomiti.

Varietal
Pinot Gris
The Pinot Grigio or Pinot Gris grape varietal is now one of the most widely grown vines in the world, due to the surge in popularity of Pinot Grigio wines over the past twenty years or so. These grayish-blue fruits, which hang in their distinctively conical bunches, are responsible for a very broad range of wines famous for their variety of color tones and flavors Pinot Grigio varietal grapes are highly influenced by terroir, climate and particularly the skill and expertise of the vintners who process them. As such, there are full bodied, amber colored wines made from this grape, and there are equally delicious yet far leaner, paler, lighter bodied and crisp white wines made from the same species in other parts of the world.
