Descrizione

The Riesling Linea Classic from Famille Hugel is born in the heart of Alsace, a region famous for its extraordinary suitability for this aromatic grape variety. Here, among hills rich in minerality and cool climates, the Riesling finds expression in the perfect balance between lively acidity and olfactory complexity. The wine is made exclusively from selected Riesling grapes, grown on limestone and clay soils that impart elegance and a distinct mineral note.

The aging takes place mainly in steel, thus preserving freshness and varietal purity, while the slow fermentation enhances the intense aromas of white flowers, citrus, and a delicate hint of flint. On the palate, it is vibrant, with a lean body and an almost imperceptible tannic texture, accompanied by a long and savory finish. This Riesling is perfect as a companion to fish dishes, shellfish, and light Asian cuisine, but it also proves an excellent aperitif for those who love bold and refined flavors.

Famille Hugel with this Linea Classic expresses all the finesse and Alsatian tradition in a wine that captivates with freshness, finesse, and harmony.
