Il Cascinone Fontanino Riesling (Italy)

Make way! An amazing dry Italian Riesling at a mindblowing price! This elegant number will challenge everything you know about sweet, sickly Rieslings. It is bone dry and gently delicate with a refreshingly crisp texture. Super classic style, think lime, stone fruit, crunchy green apple, and a hint of petrol. Definitely one to try!

Grapes are sourced from one hectare Fontanino plot of the 60 ha Il Cascinone estate in the Monferrato area of Piemonte in north west Italy. The Riesling grapes were planted in 2002 on an east facing slope and are grown in the coolest vineyard sites, where they can ripen slowly, producing a wonderfully concentrated flavour.

It has a lovely acidity to cut through richer dishes, so it's perfect with fish, chicken, or pork dishes, particularly with creamy sauces.
