Alto Adige Valle Venosta Riesling DOC - Geieregg - Himmelreich 2023

Within the wine landscape of Alto Adige, the Riesling DOC from Geieregg winery highlights the refined elegance that this grape manages to express in the Venosta Valley. This white wine stands out for its extraordinary ability to reflect the unique terroir from which it originates, a territory marked by poor and rocky soils that impart complexity and intense minerality to the wine.

The winemaking process begins with manual harvesting of the grapes, selected with extreme care. Afterwards, the grapes undergo controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, a process that helps preserve the typical aroma of Riesling and ensures lively freshness. The wine then briefly matures on its lees, enriching it with nuances and texture.

Visually, Himmelreich's Riesling presents a light straw-yellow color, with slight greenish reflections that promise freshness and vitality. On the nose, the bouquet is enchanting with floral and fruity notes; aromas of white peach, citrus, and delicate touches of wildflowers are embellished by a subtle veil of minerality.

On the palate, the wine is balanced with a well-presented acidity that dances harmoniously with the fruity sweetness. The structure is highlighted by a persistent and elegantly mineral finish, a distinctive sign of the Venosta Valley terrain.

Ideal as an aperitif, this Riesling pairs beautifully with delicate fish dishes, seafood, and Asian cuisine, matching its vibrations of freshness and aromatic complexity.

A Riesling from Alto Adige that not only expresses the character of its alpine environment but also promises a tasting experience of finesse and refinement for every white wine lover.
