Overview

Agricolavinica – Le Colline di Ripa Riesling Lame del Sorbo is a white wine that interprets Riesling through the lens of its terroir, highlighting the grape’s natural tension, freshness and ability to express its place of origin with precision.

It is a bottle designed for those seeking elegance, freshness and personality in a white wine of remarkable character.

History of the Wine

Lame del Sorbo represents one of the purest expressions of the philosophy of Agricolavinica – Le Colline di Ripa. The project was born from the desire to showcase Riesling within the climatic and geographical context of Molise, emphasising the grape variety’s most authentic characteristics. Through a winemaking approach focused on transparency and precision, the wine tells the story of its territory without unnecessary intervention, prioritising aromatic clarity and fruit integrity. The 2024 vintage perfectly reflects this vision, offering a modern, essential and deeply terroir-driven white wine.

Vineyard Philosophy

The Riesling grapes are cultivated with particular attention to preserving their natural freshness and varietal aromatic character. Vineyard practices are aimed at achieving balanced ripeness while maintaining acidity, fragrance and precision. The climatic conditions of the Molise hills encourage the development of refined aromas and a lively structure, which form the stylistic foundation of this wine. The goal is to harvest healthy, perfectly ripe grapes capable of expressing the full vitality and elegance that define Riesling.

Winemaking and Ageing

The grapes undergo gentle crushing using open rollers, a technique that helps preserve the integrity of the fruit and the aromatic quality of the must. Fermentation takes place entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, allowing the freshest and most varietal aromas to be retained. Ageing also occurs exclusively in stainless steel, enabling the wine to maintain its purity and expressive clarity. This production choice enhances the wine’s mineral character, vibrant acidity and remarkable aromatic precision, all hallmarks of Riesling Lame del Sorbo.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Bright straw yellow with luminous reflections that highlight the wine’s freshness and youthful character.

Nose: Clean and refined aromas of white peach and citrus fruits unfold with remarkable precision, creating a bouquet that is fresh, elegant and immediately recognisable.

Palate: Vibrant, razor-sharp and lively. The acidity drives the palate with energy and momentum, supporting a dynamic and precise flavour profile that leads to a long, clean and refreshing finish.

Food Pairings

Riesling Lame del Sorbo pairs beautifully with raw seafood, shellfish, tuna tartare and dishes based on molluscs. Its acidity and freshness also make it an excellent match for sushi, Asian cuisine, fresh cheeses and vegetarian dishes. The wine’s aromatic precision and light structure allow for refined pairings with vegetable-based pasta dishes and delicate Mediterranean recipes. It is an exceptionally versatile wine that enhances the purity of ingredients without overpowering them.
