100% Riesling, selected in the Mosel, and planted at Maestà della Formica in 2014.  This is an extreme vineyard, 0.6ha at 1050m, densely planted at 9400 plants/hectare, with the dramatic peak of Monte Sumbra (1795m) as a backdrop. 

The topsoil is sand and silt, with very little clay.  Much of the vineyard is characterized by pure sandstone mother rock. Harvested as a dry wine on November 7th at low yields of 22 hl/ha. 15% of the grapes were lightly affected by botrytis.
