The wine Riesling by Paolo Caccese
The Riesling from Paolo Caccese’s winery comes from Riesling grapes grown in the estate’s vineyards in the town of Pradis in the province of Cormons in the heart of the Collio DOC. The soil rich in fragmented marl and sandstone that time has enriched with salts, and the protection of the Alps, which allow a climate with a significant temperature range, make this area a unique place for vine growing.
THE WINEMAKING
After the rigorously manual grape harvest, only the selected bunches get to the cellar for winemaking. After a soft pressing, the must ferments in steel at controlled temperatures; the wine then ages for some time in steel. After blending and bottling, the wine rests for a few months in the cellar before being placed on the market.
Tasting the wine from the winery
Straw yellow, pleasant fresh notes leave room for a delicate aroma of apricot and honey, to close with hints of citrus and aromatic herbs. Fresh on the palate, this Riesling by Paolo Caccese is well structured with a perfect correspondence between aromas and flavour. The finish is intense and persistent.
FOOD PAIRINGS
Perfect with fish, even raw. Try it with fish soups or baked fish.
