About: In Alto Adige, Sylvaner is clearly at home in the Isarco Valley. On the cool yet sunny terraced slopes, this is where it develops its crispy body and its crisp acidity. Its mineral-rich, fresh scent of apples, pears, and mint is underlaid with aromas of herbs and tones of fresh hay. This delightful composition makes it an Alpine wine ambassador from Alto Adige!
