Riesling Terra degli Osci Agricolavinica – 2020

The wine Riesling Terra degli Osci from the Agricolavinica

The Riesling Terra degli Osci of the Agricolavinica winery comes from 100% Riesling grapes grown in the vineyards owned by the winery. The winery thought it had the right conditions to produce this wine. The trump cards were the terrain, the altitude with the winter cold and the temperature range.

The winery produced a wine of great complexity, from acidity to sapidity, with a slight note of hydrocarbon that balances with those of citrus fruits—an elegant wine with a magnificent persistence.

THE WINEMAKING

The grape harvest is strictly manual in the second ten days of September. Once in the cellar, after soft pressing, the must ferments spontaneously, in steel tanks with the sole use of indigenous yeasts. The wine then ages in steel in contact with the lees for about 12 months; after bottling, it rests in the cellar before being placed on the market.

Tasting the Riesling

Straw yellow. Pleasant fresh notes leave room for a delicate aroma of apricot, marzipan and honey to close with hints of citrus and aromatic herbs. Fresh on the palate with a perfect correspondence between aromas and flavours. The finish is intense and persistent.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Perfect with fish, soft cheeses and vegetables. Also, try it with sushi.
