Tasting Notes: The Manni Nössing Riesling is flinty and focused, with tart fruits, lime zest, apples and wild herbs marking it as a distinctive and dry version of the grape made famous in Germany.
Estate History: Manni Nössing runs his small winery amid the towering peaks of the Dolomites less than twenty miles south of the Austrian border in Italy’s Alto Adige region. Descended from a family of farmers, Manni knows well to utilizes his high-altitude vineyards and the steep slopes of glacial deposit that make up the Valle Isarco, to craft an incredible lineup of crisp, fresh white wines. His winery is very small, with 5 hectares of hillside vineyards at altitudes of 650 to 800 meters, planted to Kerner, Grüner Veltliner, Müller Thurgau, Riesling, Sylvaner, and Gewürztraminer. Vinified in steel and ages on the lees for up to eight months, these stunning and rare wines truly showcase the pristine Alpine landscape.
