Kerner Praepositus Abbazia di Novacella 2014

The Kerner Praepositus Abbazia di Novacella is a precious wine, able to witness how the experience of almost a thousand years of this monastic reality helps to create wines that communicate extraordinarily their own terroir, without being product contaminated by the oenological style of a single moment. Established in 1142, the Abbazia di Novacella is a magnificent building in South Tyrolean architecture, inserted in the beautiful setting of Isarco Valley, where the cool climate and rich soils are ideal for the optimal development of the grape. The ecclesiastical term “praepositus” was used in the past to indicate a superior figure in the hierarchy of a convent; in this case it indicates the highest expression of the Abbazia di Novacella wine. Kerner is the name of the grape that makes up this fascinating white wine, a native species that is enriched with all the precious hints of moraine landscape and of the splendid southern exposure of the vineyards owned by the abbey. Tasting Kerner Praepositus Abbazia di Novacella is a beautiful voyage, a multifaceted taste experience, amiable for the rich aromatic bouquet and for the freshness of the drink. A beautifully balanced white wine, that combines sensual fruity flavor surprising and a pleasant vitality.
