DESCRIPTION:
The Abbazia di Novacella is located in the northern-most winegrowing region on the southern side of the Alps. The mineral-rich soils, the elevation (1,970 ft – 2,950 ft) and the cool climate are all factors which explain the intense aromas and flavours as well as fruity, mouth-watering acidity found in the wines produced from the typical white Valle Isarco. The long drawn-out ripening period extending well into the autumn is crucial. The most widely-grown vines in the vineyards around Varna just north of Bressanone are Sylvaner, Kerner, Gewürztraminer and Veltliner.
TASTING NOTES:
Intensely deep in colour, almost black tinged with purple. Very open on the nose with concentrated aromas of violets, blackberries and black cherries all meshed with savoury flavours, coffee and dark chocolate; supple youthful tannins and superb length.
