Creamy mint nose. Mineral wet stone. Ripe and full bodied, oaky. Powerful rich mouthfeel. The fruit is mostly apricot and a bit of lemon. Very good wine, perhaps lacks a bit of definition. Would still buy again.

Vegetal nose, very ripe and rich, some elderflower, pear. Not tropical. Thick and heavy in the mouth, huge presence and yes a bit greasy. Creamy mint in the mouth, a bit smokey too. Long finish. Powerful and alcoholic, still retains enough freshness for me though. Very good.

By the glass. If this is one of the best SB in Italy, I don't know a sh#t but drink Cantina Terlano Quarz or Rossj-Bass even if they cost double or triple. What I agree with some colleagues is that it reminds of a vulgar Poully-Fumé. Citrus aromas and a great, greasy body on the palate. Twinkling acidity and good length. Por copas. Si este es uno de los mejores SB de Italia, apaga la luz y bebe Cantina Terlano …

Elderflower, pear, spice, a bit vegetal or earthy. Full bodied and rich, quite alcoholic. Long mineral finish. Quite oaky and still too young. Very good though.

Südtirol 2018; 9/28/2018-9/30/2018 (Südtirol) : Tasted on site at St. Michael Eppan. Fresh mineral nose. Plenty of elderflower too. Leans more towards mineral and peachy smells than tropical fruit. Medium to full bodied in the mouth, well structured and long. Still very fresh and judging by the ripeness, acid and complexity would last several years longer. A style of Sauvignon Blanc which deserves more attention. Excellent.
