Description

The Praepositus Gruner Veltliner Valle Isarco DOC 2022, produced by the ancient Abbey of Novacella, is an excellent example of how the terroir of the Valle Isarco can express itself through the art of winemaking. Famous for its cool climate and mineral-rich soil, this area imparts a distinctive freshness and vivacity to the Gruner Veltliner. On the nose, the wine opens with aromas of green fruit like apple and pear, followed by a light spicy nuance reminiscent of white pepper, typical of this variety. On the palate, it is elegant, with balanced acidity and a structure that promises excellent aging potential. The Praepositus Gruner Veltliner pairs perfectly with seafood, fish-based dishes, and light cuisine, enhancing their flavors with its bright acidity. A wine that offers a reflection on how refined Gruner Veltliner can be when cultivated under ideal conditions.
