Descrizione

The Riesling Alto Adige DOC Vigna Castel Ringberg by Elena Walch clearly expresses the grape's character within the mountainous setting of Alto Adige. On the nose are notes of ripe citrus, white flowers and a hint of white-fleshed fruit recalling peach and apple. The aroma is clean and linear, with a mineral hint, without entering into technical detail. It is a wine of measured personality, aimed more at precision than power.

On the palate it confirms lively freshness and balanced acidity that support a saline, lithe texture. The body is restrained but present, with citrus returns and a persistence that invites pairing with fish, shellfish, grilled vegetables or fresh cheeses. It is suited to being served lightly chilled and enjoyed young to appreciate the primary tension, while retaining a modest ability to evolve in bottle for a few years under suitable conditions.
