Riesling 'Tildega' Ilaria Salvetti 2021

Riesling "Tildega," produced by Ilaria Salvetti's Piedmont winery, completes the range of whites with a label that combines the variety's international personality with the Canavese terroir's character. The cool, breezy climate and skeleton-rich soils are ideal for growing Riesling Renano, which expresses itself very well in this area of Piedmont with intense wines of crisp freshness. Elegant and refined, it is a great white dedicated to those who love the decisive expressive tension typical of northern European wines.

"Tildega" Riesling is the fruit of work conducted with great passion. The Ilaria Salvetti winery runs a small estate following the principles of organic farming. The Riesling Renano grapes come from vineyards located in the municipality of Caluso. They are located partly in the alluvial plain area at an altitude of 290 meters and partly in the hilly area at 350 meters above sea level. The terrains are rich in pebbles, making them draining, dry, and suitable for quality viticulture based on low yields per hectare. Manual harvesting takes place in the second half of September. Clusters selected in the vineyard are destemmed before soft pressing. The flower must ferment in wooden vats spontaneously and using only indigenous yeasts. The wine matures for 6 months, partly in steel tanks and partly in used oak barrels, and is aged for a few months in bottles before release.

Ilaria Salvetti's white Riesling "Tildega" is the label that completes the range of whites with a look at Mosel. In the perfect style of the winery, it is a label of great finesse and elegance, confirming the excellent quality level of the entire range. Beautiful straw yellow in colour with clear, luminous highlights, it expresses on the nose scents of acacia flowers, hawthorn, fragrant aromas of pear, green apple, white peach and hints of flint. Taut and vertical, it delivers a sip of intense, juicy fruit that stretches deep toward a savoury finish of lively freshness.
