This wine has matured beautifully. I think Sass Rigais is the name of a local mountain. Vineyards are located in Valle Isarco, northeast of Bolzano. Fruit ages on the lees in stainless steel barrels for nine months and does not undergo malolactic fermentation.
Pop and pour. Delicious right out of the gate with brisk Alpine influenced fruit, citrus upfront with balanced acidity leading into a surprisingly lush tropical inflected finish... nice complexity. Definitely a rebuy.
Enjoyed with bucatini and morel shrooms.
