White
Langhe Riesling
By Diego Pressenda - La Torricella, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
A mineral, floral Langhe Riesling from the Il Bric vineyard above 500 meters, among hazelnut groves and woodland.
Tasting notes
Light greenish-yellow color, with aromas of honey-drenched apricots, lemon zest and minerals, plus floral notes. Fresh and medium-weight on the palate, with refreshing acidity and good persistence.
Pairs well with
As an aperitif, with shrimp or scallops, fresh salads, poultry, or first courses of meat and fish.
