Kellerei Bozen, Riesling, Alto Adige, Italy, 2018
Another good-value find in this year’s Riesling Masters hailed from the high altitude vineyards of northern Italy, where cool fresh air from the Dolomites and high-tech winemaking brings pristine white wines, like this one from Kellerei Bozen.
What the judges said:
An intense ripe, almost Viognier-like Riesling with notes of orange blossom and apricot, although, unlike Viognier, this wine then finishes fresh with a gently chalky grip. A lovely fruity style of dry Riesling.
