Riesling: elegance, tension and great territorial identity
The Riesling collection from Italian Wine Selection gathers some of the most interesting expressions of this grape variety, famous for its clear aromas, vibrant acidity, and extraordinary ability to tell the story of the land. In this selection, alpine and hillside interpretations coexist, with wines from areas such as Alto Adige, Valle Isarco, Valle Venosta, Trentino, Langhe, and other vocated regions, alongside labels of strong personality that broaden the perspective beyond just Riesling.
A versatile grape variety, with a fine and recognizable profile
Riesling stands out for its freshness, precise aromatic note, and ability to evolve over time while maintaining integrity and complexity. The collection includes wines such as Riesling Praepositus from Abbazia di Novacella, Riesling Vigna Castel Ringberg from Elena Walch, the interpretations from Strasserhof, Ignaz Niedrist, Erste+Neue, Falkenstein, and Roeno Azienda Agricola. Each label offers a different nuance, from the more vertical and mineral versions to the more enveloping and structured ones.
Alpine territories and characterful wines
Riesling gives its best in cool areas at high altitudes, where temperature fluctuations and mineral-rich soils favor aromatic precision and drinkability. For this reason, the selection particularly values Alto Adige, Valle Isarco, and Valle Venosta, territories that express taut, saline, and long-lived wines. Alongside these denominations, there are also interpretations from Langhe, Trentino, and Vigneti delle Dolomiti, as well as some more original and experimental labels, useful for those who wish to explore the grape variety in different keys.
When to choose a Riesling
This collection is ideal for those looking for a white wine capable of combining immediacy and depth. Riesling is perfect at the table with fish appetizers, shellfish, Asian cuisine dishes, savory cheeses, and vegetarian preparations with an aromatic profile. The most important and mature versions are also suitable for more complex dishes, while some selected vintage or specially aged labels can accompany more contemplative tasting moments.

Hofstätter, Nals Margreid, Planeta, Pojer e Sandri, Federico Graziani, Tenuta San Leonardo, and Antinori Castello della Sala makes this page suitable for those who want to compare different styles, territories, and interpretations.
