San Fereolo Description
For the first time in 2021, Nicoletta treated separately a portion of her Riesling harvest and bottled it on its own. Naturally, her take on the notoriously prim variety is wilder, more generously textured, and more boisterous than garden-variety examples both local and international. Using Riesling from the Rocca Ciglie planting that comprises the “Coste di Valanche” above, she employed a six-day skin maceration during fermentation and aged the wine one year in used barrels (anaerobic elevage has no place in Nicoletta’s methodology).
Tasting Note: Offering luscious apricots, tangy acidity, and musky florals on a frame both broad and driving.
