2021 Mitterberg IGT "Eart", Alto Adige, Italy

Very slightly cloudy straw yellow colour. Vegetal, nutty and somewhat oaky nose with pomaceous fruit, physalis and ripe citrus fruit, red gooseberries, a hint of nut butter, floral traces and tobacco. Ripe, tightly knit, tart, nutty fruit with yellow spice reminiscent of curry, some smoke and tobacco, dense and persistent on the palate, fine, quite lively acidity and plenty of grip from ripe, fine sandy tannins, bready, yeasty nuances in the background, chalky and salty tones, a hint of vinaigrette and egg, some chicory, hints of mustard seed, medium strength, some depth, a hint of tea, very good, firm finish with juice, spice and grip..
