Azienda Giribaldi Langhe Riesling

Riesling from a north-east facing vineyard at 520 m in Rodello, with marked acidity and a mineral, savoury palate.

Tasting notes

Straw colour with faint greenish reflections. A vertical nose with barely noticeable hydrocarbon hints. Mineral and savoury on the palate, with the marked acidity of the variety giving freshness and a very long finish.

Pairs well with

Best with fish dishes; intense and versatile when young, gaining complexity with time and suited to long ageing.
