Martin Foradori Hofstätter’s passion for Riesling led him to be the first Italian to invest in Saar, the German wine region of Moselle, where the noble Riesling expresses itself at its best. In 2014, he took over and relaunched the historic Dr. Fischer estate. In 2022, his project beyond the border expanded further, reaching the Rheinhessen wine-growing area, along the Rhine River.
THE WINE:
Riesling “trocken” – that is, dry – is a transversal and versatile wine, ideal even for those who are approaching this splendid internationally renowned grape variety for the first time. Straw yellow in color, fresh acidity, on the nose it presents the classic notes of the Moselle terroir of flint and hints of citrus. All this is confirmed on the palate.
VINIFICATION:
As soon as the grapes are picked they are lightly pressed and the must is left in contact with the skins for a few hours. This is followed by careful pressing, natural precipitation of the sediments and fermentation at a controlled temperature. All this enhances the unique organoleptic characteristics of this vine and gives elegance to the wine.
