Although the Sylvaner grape can sometimes result in bland flavors, the 2012 Alto Adige Valle Isarco Sylvaner Praepositus is anything but boring. Indeed, cool mountain climates have helped to bring forth delicate tones of white flower, honeysuckle and tangerine skin. A delicate mineral shading of flint or crushed river stone helps to glue those various floral and fruity tones together. Approximately one third of the wine is aged in botte made from acacia wood.
