Vigna Cancòr Riesling
Trentino DOC
There is a small area below the village of Cembra that is about 500 metres above sea level, where the steep slopes that normally characterise the valley are alleviated, leaving space for a vineyard caressed by the Ora del Garda winds: it is called “Vigna Cancor”. Here on regular, precise and grassy rows, Rhenish Riesling has found its natural habitat for producing grapes of the highest quality.

TASTING NOTES
Straw yellow colour with greenish reflections, with intriguing notes of white peaches, apricots, pistachios and candied fruit, which over the years will leave room for evolving notes of flint and hydrocarbon. On the palate it is an irrepressible, decisive wine, very savoury and with notable persistence
