Abbazia di Novacella Alto Adige Valle Isarco Kerner 2024 (750ml)

Abbazia di Novacella sits in the Valle Isarco, a cool subregion of Alto Adige in the far north of Italy where Kerner, a German-Austrian hybrid varietal, thrives. This 2024 is a crisp, mineral white wine made in the monastery's elegant house style.

The wine opens with bright citrus and green herbal notes, lime zest threading through sour melon and a hint of spiced ginger. It's energetic and finely tuned on the palate, with tart acidity and a light, delicate body. Yellow plum and orchard fruit provide a subtle core of flavor, while leafy, ferny undertones and dairy notes give it texture and grip. The finish is clean and lemony, with a whisper of salt that adds intrigue and keeps the wine on your tongue. This is best enjoyed fresh, in its youthful vigor.
