👁 In the Glass:
Pale straw yellow with green reflections—bright, crisp, and luminous.
👃 On the Nose:
Fragrant and lively, with delicate aromas of lime zest, white peach, green apple, and subtle floral notes. A whisper of wet stone minerality adds a refined, elegant edge.
👅 On the Palate:
Zippy and refreshing, with juicy citrus and orchard fruit—lemon, pear, and green apple—delivered on a light, clean frame. Crisp acidity gives it lift and energy, while a gentle mineral note lingers through the bright, dry finish.
🍽 Food Pairing:
A versatile companion to seafood, sushi, fresh salads, or light pasta with lemon and herbs. Also delightful with goat cheese or antipasti.
⏳ Ageing Potential:
Best enjoyed young to capture its vibrancy, but can age gracefully over 3–4 years, gaining a touch of complexity and roundness.
✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Il Cascinone’s ‘Fontanino’ Riesling offers a unique take on this noble grape—lean, fresh, and full of northern Italian elegance. With its vibrant fruit, crisp acidity, and mineral charm, it’s a beautifully crafted white wine that proves Riesling thrives far beyond the expected regions.
