both in Neive in Barbaresco

Sweet red cherry

chiseled and very dry finish that exhibits a trace of youthful austerity

vivid wine from the first taste

It’s unusual to find examples of Maltroie that are quite this refined

Battenfeld Spanier, Zellerweg Schwarzen Hergott Riesling GG Vintage:2024 both in Neive in BarbarescoThe very smoky and flinty nose pulls you inexorably into this dense and highly structured dry riesling, but those descriptors make the wine sound austere, whereas all this is wrapped in concentrated mirabelle fruit. The entire composition making a bold statement, particularly at the long and imposingly chalky finish. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2024.
