Riesling grapes are not indigenous to Italy. They can be found across the globe. In Italy production is very limited. A few Riesling vineyards are located in northern Italy. Riesling has an extensive history, dating back to the 15th century. The vine originated in Germany. Depending on age and harvesting, riesling grapes can produce dry, semi-sweet, sweet and sparkling wines. Most riesling wines are flowery tasting with high levels of acidity. Riesling wines are fairly balanced. Therefore, they pair well with many dishes.
