Saracco - Riesling Langhe Bianco 2023

Saracco is located in the  small village of Castiglione Tinella, in Asti,  in the heart of the Langhe, in Piedmont, Italy The Langhe is known as the land of great Nebbiolo wines like Barolo and Barbaresco but it is also home to the Muscat Bianco Canelli grape that produces Moscato d’Asti. Upon graduating enology school, Paolo Saracco told his father that he wanted to stop selling their grapes as he had been doing,  and produce a namesake Moscato wine.  His father was very reluctant but eventually realized that his son was on to something.  Paolo created the quality Moscato category in the US market, was named the “Maestro of Moscato” by wine writer Antonio Galloni in 2011 and has gone on to receive the highest and most consistent over 90 point scores from the top wine publications for the past 16 years.

White straw yellow color with green reflections, it shows a mineral and fruited bouquet, with apple, mango and papaya notes. The taste is balanced and elegant, with a great structure and acidity. With a long and persistent aftertaste, it’s sapid and mineral; it is perfect if drunk in combination with fish dishes, sea food, chicken and veal.
