2005 Abbazia di Novacella (Stiftskellerei Neustift) Gewürztraminer - Italy, Trentino-Alto Adige, Alto Adige, Valle Isarco / Eisacktaler (9/23/2008) Paired with antipasti of Speck and funghi in olive oil. One of the most floral, enticing noses I've ever encountered from a Gewurztraminer. Youthful, yet exploding with tropical fruits, orange zest, miscellaneous spices, a touch of anise, very interesting flavors all-together. Medium bodied, very nicely balanced with just enough acidity on the finish to keep the palate tingling for more. Very nicely done. (90 pts.)
