2008 Südtirol / Alto Adige DOC Edelvernatsch "Haselhof", Alto Adige, Italy

Preserved red and a few black berries on the nose, light vegetal notes, delicate hint of almonds. Straightforward tart fruit on the palate, light oak, more light vegetal notes, earthy notes, fine, dusty, mature tannins, some almonds in the background, attractive finish. Already slightly past its peak (which may in part be attributed to the synthetic closure), but still pleasant to drink.

Best to drink: Bald trinken. What our ratings mean
