Langhe Bianco Riesling
This is an interesting dry Riesling from Piedmont.
Golden in color with a fruity nose.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with a touch of RS.
Showing limes, apples and spices.
Oily and tangy with nice complexity.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.
Good by itself or with food.
14% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$40.

Fresh, stony, citrusy, floral Riesling from vine cuttings transplanted 30 years ago from Alsace to Barolo. Really consistently lovely each vintage, especially this!

Here I found a bouquet of honey dew melon, yellow flowers, lime zest, crushed stone and hints of petrol. On the palate, a zesty display of lemon-infused green apple, young pineapple and savory herbs saturated the senses, while its brisk acidity left the mouth watering. It finished wonderfully fresh with a lasting zing of pineapple and minerals. Talk about a perfect pairing.
