2018 Cantina Valle Isarco Kerner ‘Aristos’ Alto Adige

WSI92+ VIN92 Straw-green. Lemon, lime and minty spices on the explosive nose. Then also very forward, explosive minty and juicy gooseberry flavors on the palate. Luscious but bright, with hints of herbs and ripe orchard fruit on the back end. Lovely.
