Nusserhof Tyroldego 2006
Nearly forty years have found their way by me since I walked with my dog Storm through the forests surrounding my boyhood home in New England.
Warm days of skunk cabbage, lady slippers and princess pine, watching the ground for specimens to add to my pine cone collection, hands all pine pitch and never once thinking beyond what might be on for suppertime.
Tonight, I remain somehow connected to those days, brought back courtesy of this fine Tyroldego by Nusserhof.
Heinrich Mayer-Nusser produces his Tyroldego (yes, with a “y”, in this case) from a small amount of Teroldego grown on the family estate of 2.5 hectares at Bozen / Bolzano in Italy. Viticulture is certified organic.
Tasting Notes / Impressions:
The breath of woodlands lifts up and out of the glass, permeates my consciousness with recollections of forest berries, pine sap, cocoa and coffee. Waves of juicy, tart berry rise up onto the palate, spice in the undertow. Soft in the mouth and super clean. Finishes long, letting me hold on long enough to hear Storm barking as we come back home 
Food Pairing Suggestions:
Enjoy Nusserhof Tyroldego with pork roast, bread dumplings with speck or bacon, vegetable casseroles au gratin, dishes of hearty polenta with meat or mushroom sauces, stews / goulash, cheeses
