The 2018 Alto Adige Valle Isarco Sylvaner Praepositus shows a note of flint or struck match. The fruit tones hover at the back and include passion fruit, quince and poached pear. Give the wine a few more months to open; it needs it. In terms of mouthfeel, it shows a mild creamy texture, but this wine needs a little more time to open fully. Production is 16,500 bottles strong.
