Petrol, honey, even noble rot (?) in the nose. Very delicate, beautiful velvety feel in the mouth. One of the best rieslings in this price category for a while!

One of my favourite San Gimignano. When aerated and served little bit warmed (12°C) the bouquet rises much better. Oily and petrol after taste.

Ok first of all: this is anything but what you know as "wine". Smooth grape juice with really earthy tones. Easy drinkability and went quite well with cheeses and charcuterie. Would drank definitely again.
