2014 Südtirol / Alto Adige DOC Ars Lyrica, Alto Adige, Italy

Slightly muted nose, delicate floral and nutty traces, dried vegetal notes, partly dried citrus fruit, green pomaceous fruit, light oak and coconut, hint of bacon, some broccoli. Clear, straightforward, dry fruit on the palate, nuts, artichokes and some sautéed sage, earthy notes, fairly prominent acidity, lively and persistent, but not particularly deep, slightly brittle on a good finish.
