Description

The Gewürztraminer Alto Adige DOC - Abbazia Novacella represents one of the most elegant and aromatic expressions of this native grape variety, cultivated in the picturesque Dolomite territory. The cool microclimate, combined with well-drained and mineral-rich soils, imparts a deep and refined complexity to this wine.

In the glass, it shows an intense golden yellow color, accompanied by an enveloping bouquet of roses, lychee, oriental spices, and a delicate hint of tropical fruit. On the palate, it displays a balanced structure, with a fresh acidity that enhances its persistence and a slight spicy finish. The aging method, often in steel or large barrels, preserves the aromatic purity typical of Gewürztraminer.

Perfect as a companion to spicy dishes, aged cheeses, or Asian cuisine, it is a wine that stands out for elegance and character, highlighting the extraordinary wine-growing vocation of Alto Adige.
