Elisabetta Foradori
Elisabetta Foradori, a trailblazing organic winegrower based in Trentino, Mezzolambardo, has left an indelible mark on the international wine scene. Commencing her winemaking journey in 1984, she transitioned to biodynamics in 2002, achieving certification by 2007. Recognized as one of Italy's most forward-thinking vintners, Foradori's wines embody a natural sensibility.
Nestled in the hills above Trento, within the World Heritage Site of Trentino, her winery reflects the extraordinary beauty of the landscape. Elisabetta's focus centers on the indigenous Teroldego grape, and her examples are acclaimed among the world's finest. Since 2002, she has embraced biodynamic farming, maintaining a natural winemaking ethos with minimal intervention.
Foradori's wines, crafted with the gentle use of clay amphora and inert vessels for fermentation and maturation, express a profound sense of place from grape to glass. Considered one of the most influential female winemakers globally, her artisanal creations are both scarce and highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts worldwide. These unique and original wines grace the tables of the world's most exclusive restaurants, embodying the essence of Foradori's pioneering spirit in the realm of winemaking.
"Foradori wines have come a long way in the last 58 years, but then greatness always takes time…"
