Riesling Vino Valle Venosta

A.A. Valle Venosta Riesling DOC 2024

As a demanding grape variety, the Riesling grapes ripen very late, fully absorbing the concentrated sunlight on the poor and weathered primary rock soils of the Venosta Valley. Only the finest hand-picked grapes undergo gentle whole-cluster pressing followed by careful maturation in stainless steel and tonneaux to develop a refined alpine finesse and elegance. A white wine with great personality and remarkable aging potential. Even after 15 years properly cellared, this ambassador of the Venosta Valley remains a true delight!
