Alpi Retiche IGT

Alpi Retiche IGT is a wine region in Lombardy, Italy.

Growers build the wines around Nebbiolo, filling out the blend with Pignola, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling.

The climate is continental, running alpine.

The vineyards themselves read as riverside, slopes and steep sites.

Red wine, white wine and rosé wine is what the region is known for, and in the glass it shows rich and tannic, pronounced acidity and complex aromas, light and crisp and ideal for warm weather.

Pour them alongside grilled meats, tomato-based dishes, strong cheeses and spicy asian cuisine.

Serve chilled.

Keeps for 5 to 10 years.
