Mountain Juice

Nosiola is a white grape varietal native to the region Trentino and derived it's name from the Italian term for hazelnut (nocciola) due to it's natural flavor profile.  Founded by two friends in 1975, Mario Pojer and Fiorentino Sandri set out to protect and revive the local grapes of the area and produce wines which were almost forgotten.    At Pojer e Sandri, they not only produce wine but also produce wine and whole fruit vinegars. Due to the German influence in the area, the vinegars perform very well and compliment the local diet. Natural farming, respect for nature, the land, the environment and traditions, this wine is definitely not one to be forgotten.   Tune in now to get the full details on this producer and try out this Nosiola with me!     1:30 - Intro to producer 2:08 - Mario & Fiorentino 2:45 - Collaboration for wine success 3:12 - Native grapes 3:30 - Nosiola derived from "nocciola" 4:30 - North of Italy 6:55 - Visual analysis 7:10 - Olfactory analysis 8:10 - Tasting notes 10:22 - Truffle brie cheese 10:40 - Not comparable   Today's wine: 2021 Pojer e Sandri Nosiola $33 (Eataly)   Connect with me on IG @sipandgrowpodcast   Get your FREE Wine Aroma Wheel at https://stan.store/nicoledipasquale    Check out my Italian Wine Guide at https://stan.store/nicoledipasquale
