The 2012 Alto Adige Valle Isarco Riesling Kaiton is among the top three expressions of Riesling I have tasted this year. Mineral notes frame more articulated tones of citrus, pear and white melon. The focus is razor sharp and carefully delineated. Pretty herbal nuances, and a touch of petroleum, or natural rubber, add energy and liveliness to the delicious finish.
