Lezèr ("light" in local dialect) was a new bottling born of the terrible 2017 vintage, when the fruit from the vines that go into the basic Foradori red bottling was devastated by a summer hailstorm. What fruit could be salvaged and ripened was turned into this short-maceration red wine, named for its light color and body. It was Foradori's first vin de soif, and they enjoyed the change of pace so much that its production is carrying on. Vivid and fresh as a daisy with plenty of fruit and a subtle stony minerality, this wine is an unpretentious offering from a very serious winemaker.
