Falstaff 2021 - Custoza Superiore CAMPO DEL SELESE

The first Falstaff magazine was published in September 1980 with a print run of 15,000 copies. The name Falstaff, which refers to the Shakespearean figure of a bon vivant and gourmet, also known from the eponymous Verdi opera, came out rather accidentally. The first guide developed from the Falstaff red wine award - initially a part of the magazine, later a booklet, today the coveted red wine guide with over 1,500 rated red wines from Austria. Soon the Austrian Wine Guide joined in, initially a modest booklet, today the standard work in terms of reviews and descriptions for Austrian wines. With the VieVinum wine fair in the Hofburg, an international edition of the wine guide was then also regularly printed in English.

91 POINTS

Light golden yellow and luminous, a little bit restrained at the nose, with scents of toasted almonds and ripe pear. The palate is intense with initial notes of fresh fruit, citrus fruits in the back, not very long-lasting.
