Pecchenino Langhe Riesling

Langhe DOC Riesling from several vineyards in Bossolasco at 700 m, first produced in 2018.

Tasting notes

Clear in the glass, intense yellow with greenish reflections. Fruity aromas recalling pear and peach, floral notes of acacia flowers and hawthorn. After a year or two, mineral notes become more pronounced, in some cases with a typical hydrocarbon character. Soft and balanced on the palate, with a finish of good acidity, length and persistence.

Pairs well with

Raw meat, lightly cured cold cuts, hot and cold antipasti, savory first courses, white meat dishes. After a few years in bottle it also pairs well with aged cheeses.
