The aristocratic prince of white wines
Unanimously considered one of the most noble white grape varieties in the world, Riesling represents the essence of oenological elegance. The Tannico collection celebrates this extraordinary grape variety, from its historical expressions in Germany to international interpretations, offering a spectrum ranging from dry, vibrant, and mineral wines to sweet masterpieces suitable for aging, all characterized by crystalline acidity, an unmistakable aromatic imprint, and a surprising ability to accurately convey the terroir of origin.
From the Moselle to Alsace: lands of choice
Riesling finds its historical expression in the German valleys of the Moselle, Rheingau, and Pfalz, where steep schist slopes produce wines of extraordinary finesse and energy. Equally fascinating are the Alsatian interpretations, generally more structured and with higher residual sugar.
From oily notes to the rarest honeys: a unique profile
The Tannico selection explores the unmistakable organoleptic profile of Riesling: from the youthful aromas of citrus fruits, white peach, and wildflowers to the characteristic “petrol” notes that develop with aging, a peculiarity sought after by enthusiasts. From German Trocken dry wines, the pinnacle of precision and minerality, through Feinherb semi-dry wines, to sweet Spätlese, Auslese and the rare Beerenauslese and Trockenbeerenauslese, authentic jewels of concentration and complexity that can evolve for decades. This extraordinary versatility is also reflected in the winemaking techniques, mainly using steel or cement to preserve purity and tension.
Great interpreters of a timeless grape variety
