This is what good wine from the Olaszrizling grape tastes like

Olaszrizling (Welschriesling in Austria) produces lightly aromatic, fresh white wines with fine acidity. They are generally approachable and refreshing, but some winemakers make them more opulent and powerful. These often age well.

Although the name suggests otherwise, Olaszrizling is not related to the well-known Rhine Riesling. But the confusion lies not only in the name. The wine also bears some resemblance to the "true" Riesling. Olaszrizling can be found throughout Central Europe under various names. In Romania, it's called Italian Riesling, in Slovenia Laški Rizling, and in Croatia Graševina.

But it is best known in Austria and Hungary, where it is made into lively, fresh, light white wines. Some winemakers leave it in the vineyard for a long time to make a late-harvested, sweet, high-quality wine. Others make sparkling wine from it. Olaszrizling is very versatile. It adds freshness to blends. Especially when paired with Chardonnay, this can result in beautiful wines.
