La Nordica Rosa Sinistra Reverse Wood Cookstove — Soapstone

The La Nordica Rosa Sinistra Reverse soapstone cookstove swaps the Bordeaux and Parchment versions’ ceramic Maiolica tile for natural soapstone panels — a material upgrade, not just a color choice. Soapstone holds and releases heat more slowly than tile, so the stove continues radiating warmth for a while after the fire has burned down, a genuine performance difference rather than a cosmetic one. Because it’s a natural stone, no two soapstone units look quite the same.

Everything else about the stove carries over: the 28,000 BTU/hr output, 86.5% efficiency, cast iron firebox, and the oven bypass system for disengaging heat to the 9.6″ x 11.8″ x 15.1″ oven during warmer months. Listed pricing runs below the tile colorways despite the premium material — worth double-checking with the supplier, since soapstone is typically the higher-cost finish on comparable European cookstoves.
