Nusserhof 'Tyr...ego' Rosso 2017

Nusserhof 'Tyr...ego' Rosso 2017Press 2 November 2023 Direct Press Selection Weingut Nusserhof is located directly in the regional capital of Bolzano, Italy at the foot of the South Tyrol mountains of Alto Adige and next to the Isarco River. If theres any illustration of this months theme in the form of a winery it would be this small winery, run by Heinrich and Elda Mayr, being encroached upon by the developing city around them. They maintain an approximate 2. 4 hectare farm that

fermented in stainless steel vats

who started the estate in 1985

This long aging and maceration results in a beautiful meaty iron laden wine with aromas of raunchy wild berries

especially in fall

The intensity on the aromas is dialed up

these flows spread through the northern Willamette Valley

It's a high-desert growing condition at 3200 feet elevation

but perfects the balancing act of minerality and fruit in the glass

and deliciously ripe tannins

with medium body

great for those who want to learn about the Jura

I was blown away by the complexity and lusciousness with notes of strawberry
