Riesling

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, renowned for its crisp aromas, vibrant acidity, and extraordinary ability to tell the story of the land. In this selection, alpine and hilly 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 view 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 features wines such as Riesling Praepositus from Abbazia di Novacella, Riesling Vigna Castel Ringberg from Elena Walch, the interpretations of 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 thrives best in cool, high-altitude areas, where temperature variations and mineral-rich soils promote aromatic precision and drinkability. For this reason, the selection particularly highlights Alto Adige, Valle Isarco, and Valle Venosta, territories that express tense, 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 exploratory labels, useful for those wishing to explore the grape in different ways.

When to choose a Riesling

This collection is ideal for those seeking a white wine that combines 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 more important and mature versions are also suitable for more complex dishes, while some labels from selected harvests or particular aging can accompany more contemplative tasting moments.
