Südtirol - Alto Adige Valle Isarco DOC Riesling 2020 Villscheider

Riesling is a white wine from the South Tyrolean Villscheider winery owned by the Hilpold family, whose wines can be tasted on the farm, the traditional restaurant. The name "Villscheider" has Ladin etymological roots and means "mowing the field with a scythe". The company is located in the province of Bressanone, behind the moraine hills, in the Isarco Valley, where the vines grow on steep slopes facing south and east at an altitude of 700 m. The stony soil is poor in limestone, thin and permeable and produces wines with very interesting characteristics.

The grapes grow at an altitude of 700 meters above sea level and are harvested in the second half of October. The vinification takes place in steel, as well as the aging of 6 months.

In the glass the wine appears greenish in color with slight yellowish hues. On the nose there are hints of exotic fruit, white peach and notes of hay. The sip is sweet, fresh and savory.

It goes very well with seafood, fish, light first courses and Asian cuisine.
