Langhe Riesling DOC 2018
Description
The Langhe Riesling of Savoy is inspired by the figure of the Chancellor and statesman of Prussia Otto von Bismarck, protagonist of the events that led to the Third War of Independence, through the agreement made in secret with the Kingdom of Italy, and therefore to the Union of Italy with the annexation of Veneto, the only region to have remained under Austrian rule. The Alta Langa is the ideal territory for the expression of the Riesling Renano grape with its cool climate and soils of calcareous and clayey marl rich in minerals.
Riesling grapes grow on 10-year-old vines at an altitude of 600 meters above sea level, from which they are harvested between the second and third decade of September. The production process involves a soft pressing of the bunches and a fermentation of 15-20 days at a controlled temperature. The wine ages for 10 months in steel on the fine lees.
In the glass it shows a bright straw yellow color. The bouquet of aromas surrounding the nose is fresh and intense and revolves around hints of white flowers, white peach and citrus. In the mouth it is juicy and enveloping, with a pleasant flavor that is well perceptible even in the finish.
Excellent to combine with fish dishes and shellfish, it can be appreciated in the company of vegetarian dishes and white meats.
