Nosiola

Nosiola – one of the oldest white wine grapes of Trentino

In the Vinoscout range, you will find a small, hand-picked selection of Nosiola from Italy – an accessible entry into this little-known but characterful variety.

Origin & Character

Nosiola is considered one of the oldest indigenous white wine grapes of Trentino and is closely linked to the area around the hills west of Lake Garda. The variety also finds its place in South Tyrol, where cool mountain locations emphasize its natural freshness. In the glass, Nosiola shows a light straw yellow with greenish reflections. Aromatic, it is reminiscent of fresh hazelnut – hence the name, derived from the Italian "nocciola" – complemented by notes of white peach, herbs, and a subtle bitter almond note in the finish. The acidity is lively, the body lean to medium-weight, the style dry and uncomplicated to drink.

Pairs well with

• Grilled trout or char from the mountain lake
• Light antipasti with goat cheese and olives
• Risotto with asparagus or wild herbs
• Fried freshwater fish with herb butter
