Produced in the \u003cstrong\u003eAlto Adige Valle Venosta\u003c\/strong\u003e region, it is characterised by a dry style and an extremely low residual sugar content. The organoleptic profile reveals intense aromas of \u003cstrong\u003ecitrus fruits, apricot and peach\u003c\/strong\u003e, which precede a taut and vibrant sip. On the palate, a \u003cstrong\u003estructured acidity\u003c\/strong\u003e stands out, supported by a distinct minerality. It pairs perfectly with \u003cstrong\u003echeeses\u003c\/strong\u003e or with fish dishes, whether lean or oily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere does it come from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates in Naturno, an alpine area characterised by a cool and sunny climate. The soils of the \u003cstrong\u003eFalkenstein\u003c\/strong\u003e estate are sandy and rich in \u003cstrong\u003egranite, slate and gneiss\u003c\/strong\u003e, with veins of quartz and mica. This particular soil composition is reflected in the glass, offering a \u003cstrong\u003edistinct mineral tension\u003c\/strong\u003e and an energetic flavour progression. The strong temperature variations in the mountains allow the \u003cstrong\u003eRiesling\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes to fully develop their aromatic maturity, while preserving a vigorous \u003cstrong\u003eacidic drive\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is it produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVinification begins with fermentation in \u003cstrong\u003einert containers\u003c\/strong\u003e, in order to preserve the unique characteristics of the grape variety. Maturation continues in large \u003cstrong\u003eacacia barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for ten months, during which the wine remains in contact with the coarse lees. This stage helps to consolidate the wine's profile without altering its natural liveliness. This is followed by \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e for five months, an essential phase to perfectly integrate the acidic component and the elegant mineral nuances.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the roots of this noble grape variety historically lie in the valleys of the Rhine, it is among the cool and sunny vineyards of Naturno that \u003cstrong\u003eRiesling Renano\u003c\/strong\u003e finds a sublime Alpine expression. The result of the dedication of the Pratzner family, Falkenstein's production comes to life in an evocative cellar carved into the rock. Ageing in large acacia barrels and soils rich in quartz give the wine a \u003cstrong\u003epronounced minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e, enhanced by elegant notes of peach and citrus. A \u003cstrong\u003estructured acidity\u003c\/strong\u003e crowns the tasting, promising excellent longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Falkenstein (Franz Pratzner)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45898540548267,"sku":"59263","price":219.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/falkenstein-valle-venosta-riesling-2024_59263_1_27fcf532-403b-405f-9a3c-43ab1fa0af4f.webp?v=1773796824","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-hk\/products\/falkenstein-valle-venosta-riesling-2024","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
