An international white wine in a region that is world-famous for its great red wines? Pecchenino dared to try this experiment in Bossolasco at an altitude of 700 metres, and the challenge was mastered with flying colours. Here, where one would expect to find Arneis or Cortese, Riesling Renano thrives on calcareous soils with marl and white clay. The south-easterly exposure and the cool, high-altitude climate of the Alta Langa create ideal conditions for the crystalline acidity and aromatic precision that characterise great Rieslings from France and Germany. The grapes are harvested in mid-September when perfectly ripe, cooled to 12°C in the cellar and gently pressed. This is followed by ten months of ageing on the fine lees with repeated bâtonnage and a further six months of bottle ageing.

Intense yellow in the glass with greenish reflections. The nose reveals fruity notes of pear and peach, interwoven with floral accents such as acacia blossom and hawthorn, as well as those characteristic hydrocarbon notes that Riesling lovers recognise immediately. The palate is characterised by lively acidity, crisp fruit, aromatic herbs and a fine minerality – a wine of remarkable verticality and freshness! SUPERIORE.DE

"Leafy and lemony aromas with a touch of lees. Tight and light-bodied, It shows freshness and citrusy length." James Suckling
