Riesling Renano - Nicolodi Alfio

In the glass, the Riesling Renano from Nicolodi Alfio reveals a bright pale yellow color. Poured into a white wine glass, this Old World white wine presents wonderfully expressive aromas of acacia, rounded off by further fruity nuances.

The Nicolodi Alfio Riesling Renano presents itself to the wine lover pleasantly dry. This white wine never appears coarse or austere, but rather round and smooth. On the palate, the texture of this well-balanced white wine is delightfully light and crisp. On the finish, this wine from the Trentino-Alto Adige wine-growing region finally delights with a beautiful length. Once again, hints of acacia appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the gravel-dominated soils join in.

Vinification of the Riesling Renano from Nicolodi Alfio

The balanced Riesling Renano from Italy is a varietal wine, vinified from the Riesling grape variety. In Trentino-Alto Adige, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on gravel soils. After hand-picking, the grapes are brought to the press house as quickly as possible. There they are selected and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the Riesling Renano can continue to harmonize on the fine lees for 9 months.
