Life Style / Wine Grapes / Italian Riesling: (a.k.a Riesling Italico in Italy). Also known as the Welschriesling in Austria, Laski Rizling in Slovenia and Grasevina in Croatia, (i.e: former Yugoslavia), and Olasz Rizling in Hungary. V.vinifera (?) vine producing medium/dense clusters of medium/small berries that ripen late with pale greenish skins. Has susceptibility to fungus diseases including Botrytis. Origins of this grape appear to be obscure, although Romania has been suggested. In the best vintage years of Austria it will allow production of white 'Auslese' Pr?dikat wines to TBA levels, with greater acidity than the german Riesling, but without the same potential for long life.
