WINE DESCRIPTION

Köfererhof Riesling is a distinguished white wine hailing from the Valle Isarco DOC in Trentino Alto Adige. Crafted exclusively from Riesling grapes and fermented in steel, this wine embodies the essence of its terroir. Produced by the esteemed Köfererhof estate in Varna-Novacella, it undergoes a six-month refinement on its yeasts, resulting in a wine of exceptional elegance and minerality. Cultivated at an altitude of 700 meters, the Riesling vineyards benefit from the unique conditions of the Isarco Valley, known for its long-standing tradition in winemaking. The Köfererhof estate, one of the oldest in the region, boasts 5.5 hectares of vines flourishing in mineral-rich soils and a favorable microclimate. The resulting wines are characterized by their juicy freshness and refined elegance, making Köfererhof Riesling a quintessential representation of Trentino Alto Adige's vinicultural prowess.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Köfererhof Riesling is a light, refreshing white wine from Alto Adige in northern Italy.The nose offers aromas of white flowers, citrus, and hints of honey. On the palate, the wine is crisp and minerally with a balanced acidity and notes of peach and green apple. The finish is long and elegant, with a hint of minerality lingering on the tongue. Highly recommended for summer days.
