More lickrstottle from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. Nosiola is a grape variety that is found mostly in the Trentino area, which is thought to be where it originated. It is an off-spring of the Reze grape grown in the Valais of Suisse. We had also the Teroldego from Cobelli that I liked a lot & thought of near Foradori-level of quality. This Nosiola did not measure up to that level of the Foradori, though.
