Wine making kits - Riesling grapes

Wine making kits from Hambleton Bard - most are made using Italian high quality grape concentrates. Our supplies of grapes come from the northern regions where the cooler climate produces high quality winemaking grapes of all the international types like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling etc as well as Italian specialities like Nebbiolo (used for the famous Barolo wines) and Sangiovese.

WineKits - Riesling grapes

Riesling or rather Italic Riesling in our case, has a very controversial origin. Some experts dates the origin back to the Roman Empire and a grape called Aminea Gemella and the ancient wines of Amineo and maybe the white Falerno.

This hypothesis is confirmed by the considerable similarities that today reconnect the Italic Riesling with the Greco of Tufo (cultivated today in the Campania region) that is a direct descendant of these two ancient wines.

This vine likes the fresh grounds of the plains, it has a good productivity and it can also adapt itself to different climates. This characteristic has made into one of the favourite white grapes, today cultivated in Italy, France, Switzerland, Hungary, Chile and California.

 

The wine is bright straw yellow with greenish tones. It is a lightly aromatic and fruity wine with scents that sometimes remember of apple, peach or apricot.
