Description

The Müller Thurgau Alto Adige DOC produced by the Abbazia di Novacella is a fine example of how the territory profoundly influences the characteristics of a wine. This wine is produced in the alpine valleys of Trentino-Alto Adige, a region known for its optimal exposure and cool climate that gives the Müller Thurgau unique characteristics in terms of freshness and aromaticity.

Pale straw yellow in color with slight green reflections, it offers a delicate but intensely aromatic bouquet on the nose, with notes of wildflowers, white peach, and subtle hints of exotic spices. On the palate, it stands out for its liveliness and harmony, with a perfect balance between acidity and body, resulting in a fresh and slightly mineral wine.

This wine pairs beautifully with delicate fish dishes, seafood, or as an aperitif. It is also an excellent choice to accompany fresh cheeses and light vegetarian dishes. Its freshness and delicacy make it an extremely versatile wine, highly appreciated by connoisseurs.

Winery history
