Description
Still white wine from Alto Adige, 13.5% ABV, produced by Abbazia di Novacella. 2023 vintage, 100% Gruner Veltliner. A wine born from the Abbey's centuries-old tradition, where viticulture is an art passed down from generation to generation. Ripe apple, quince, honey, and cumin on the nose. Medium-intense golden yellow. Strong and generous on the palate, with firm fruit and intense aromas reminiscent of anise and pepper. A wine that expresses the typicality of the terroir and a passion for quality.

Also owned by the Abbey is a vineyard located in South Tyrol's main wine-growing area: the Marklhof estate in Cornaiano, on the 'wine road' near Bolzano. The sandy, dry soil and the airy climate of these hills make it possible to obtain excellent red wines, including a characteristic Kalterersee, a very fine Schiava and a very elegant Pinot Noir.
A third Novacella vineyard is located in Bolzano, around the ancient and tiny St. Mary's Monastery. Here, in the dry and very warm climate of the valley floor, a full-bodied dark Lagrein matures, which is particularly suitable for ageing.
In our wine cellar, the grapes from these three vineyards are raised to wines whose distinct character and quality has been rewarded by the loyalty of generations of friends and connoisseurs. Read more
