We are used to seeing Gruner Veltliner from Austria, but this beauty is from Italy and exhibits exotic flavors and textures not usually found in Gruner Veltliner. Instead of being bright and citrusy, this version is lush and full, with notes of almond on the finish, boasting ripe flavors and 13% alcohol. In short, it is delicious but bears little resemblance to other wines made from Veltliner. This wine comes from the northern Italian region of Alto Adige where the distinction between Italian and Germanic heritage becomes blurred. Such is the strong influence of German culture in this region. The language, dress, and food all reflect the German heritage of this area. - Jeff Prather
