Riesling or rather Italic Riesling in our case, has a very controversial origin. Some experts dates the origin back to the Roman Empire and a grape called Aminea Gemella and the ancient wines of Amineo and maybe the white Falerno.
This hypothesis is confirmed by the considerable similarities that today reconnect the Italic Riesling with the Greco of Tufo (cultivated today in the Campania region) that is a direct descendant of these two ancient wines.
This vine likes the fresh grounds of the plains, it has a good productivity and it can also adapt itself to different climates. This characteristic has made into one of the favourite white grapes, today cultivated in Italy, France, Switzerland, Hungary, Chile and California
