Nosiola Trentino Cantina Lavis

Pale yellow in colour with pastel green tints, this wine oozes floral suggestions of rose petals, lychee, and jasmine. Made from a rare and unique grape, Nosiola has a curious delicate note of hazelnut, it is full and persistent on the palate, with just the right acidity and a slight minerality on the finish.

A unique white grape, Nosiola is native to Trentino and finds its true home on the hillsides of Pressano and the Cembra Valley. In its historic production area on the marl-rich soils of Pressano, Nosiola develops a unique aroma and structure.

A top seller at our September Wine Tasting, pair this unique Italian white wine with grilled vegetables, light appetizers and fish dishes.

Matthew Jukes, Money Week, September 2023: ''It has taken me 17 years to feature a Nosiola in this column, and I am delighted that this day has come because this is a stunning version of this ultra-rare white grape, and it is also mind-blowing value for money. Cantina Lavis was founded in 1850 by the Cembran family. It has operated as an elite cooperative since 1948, so they know about crafting sensual, memorable and accurate wines. With outstanding freshness, a haunting, silky texture, and hints of hazelnut, apple skin, celery, and lemon pith, this is a white wine that shape-shifts in the glass, parading brightness and crispness as well as intrigue, uniqueness and beguiling complexity.
