Cantina Roeno Praecipuus Riesling 2018

A magnificent Northern Italian white wine displaying a brilliant straw yellow color with delicate greenish reflections. The complex nose opens with an intense, prototypical bouquet of fresh white peaches, crisp green apples, and citrus blossoms, beautifully layered with evolving hints of flint, wet stone, and hallmark petrol notes. On the palate, it balances a lively, driving mountain acidity and pristine minerality with a subtle softness from delicate residual sugar, finishing with harmonious elegance and remarkable flavor persistence.

Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with fresh sushi and sashimi, raw seafood platters, lightly spiced Asian cuisine, and soft, young goat cheeses.

94 Points - James Suckling

This is an outstanding Italian riesling, arguably the best in the country, with dried apples, pears, honeysuckle, flint and white pepper. Medium-to full-bodied and very deep and flavorful with juicy softness to the stone fruit, but a punchy, unforgiving edge of acidity. Drink now or hold.
