Tenute del Garda, Riesling, Garda, Lombardy, Italy, 2018

An appealing green-gold appearance and seductive nose pave the way for a fascinating palate of sage, apricot and petrol, flowing to a long and savoury finish. As Riesling has been giving such impressive results here on the southwest shores of Lake Garda, the winery - which has just embarked on a project to build new cellars - is investing land and research into the grape, especially the more complex Riesling Renano clone; as well as the native local Groppello grape.
