Riesling Italico is a white grape variety primarily grown in Italy, particularly in the regions of Trentino-Alto Adige and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. It is known for producing aromatic wines with floral and fruity notes, often featuring flavors of green apple, peach, and citrus. The grape thrives in cooler climates, which helps maintain its acidity and freshness. The wines made from Riesling Italico are typically light to medium-bodied and can be enjoyed young. They are often used in blends but can also be bottled as single varietals. This grape is distinct from the more famous Riesling grape, which originates from Germany.
