Our final venture into Alto Adige for the moment, this is an aromatic gewurztraminer from this mountainous region.

Even more heavily perfumed than the typical gewurz, this 15% alcohol wine is a monster, layering camphor and mothballs atop notes of quince and orange peel. Doughy, almost yeasty at times, there’s a mushroom element that plays poorly with the wine’s other notes of melon, apricot, dense spices, and toasted bread.
