This was lovely - an exciting nose that followed through onto the palate to give great balance of mineral, herby sub-tropical fruits. These come out with more body and alcohol than you imagine from a mountain Italian wine, but it holds itself beautifully and was rightly enjoyed by everyone on the night.

Promisingnose of quince, peach and orange blossom with slate minerality. Nice sweet attack with more peach and slate but a little off putting musty earth note on the finish hampers the overall experience.

Nose of ripe fruit; peach, slight syrup; delightful. Amber yellow colour with good clarity. Thin front palate with light fruit and a little too much astringency. Somewhat unpleasant. Full rest of the palate with a solid finish and some spice at the right temperature. Darker orange fruit gave way to apple, pear. Good with a balsalmic salad or goat's cheese tart/quiche.

passion fruit and thistley green to the nose. given this fruit expression i wouldn't peg this as alto-adige. Jamie calls out piney. yes. nice acid to counter the lush fruit. hints of mineral in the extract as well. awesome.

Grassy pete moss, rather incredible nose. More savvy than you think. The tasters note rather passion fruity and ripe for the Alto Adige. Intriguing. A touch of pine or thisle kind of thing.
