Innovation often means leaving old paths and exploring completely new ones. Fuoripista – which means "off the beaten track" – is Elisabetta Foradori's most radical response to conventional Pinot Grigio ideas. What began in 2016 as an experiment with biodynamic winemaker Marco Devigili has evolved into a redefinition of what a white wine can be. Just two hectares on the Campo Rotaliano provide the grapes for this extraordinary project. On the typical alluvial soils of gravel and sand, pergola-trained Pinot Grigio vines thrive, whose fruit takes an unusual path. After being harvested by hand, the de-stemmed berries go straight into Spanish tinajas – the egg-shaped clay amphorae that Elisabetta favours for her revolutionary vinification. The impossible happens here: The grapes remain in contact with their skins for eight months, a process that gives the wine its amber-golden colour and structural complexity.

The result is a wine of fascinating duality. Intense golden yellow in the glass with copper reflections, the nose unfolds a Mediterranean bouquet of dried fruit, herbs and a hint of honey and spices. The palate reveals its true greatness: powerful and round, with silky tannins and a structure that leaves you speechless. Flavours of ripe pears merge with notes of chamomile and mineral salinity. The final lingers for minutes – a Pinot Grigio that exceeds all expectations and sets new standards. SUPERIORE.DE
