2019 San Fereolo Vino Bianco 'Costa Di Valanche', Piedmont, Italy Weiser-Kunstler head pruned vinesFrom a steeply sloped, north facing parcel just below the winery, an an elevation of 500 meters. It is 70% Riesling and 30% Gewurztraminer, which is co fermented in a large wood vat after a 5 day maceration. After 24 to 30 months in a mix of large barrels, it spends a year in bottle. The resulting wine is rich in material and texture, with a freshness and acidity that speaks to both the dominant Riesling character and the mineral soil.
