Descrizione

The Kerner Alto Adige DOC produced by the Abbey of Novacella is a white wine that captures the essence of Alto Adige, a region renowned for its high-altitude wines. This wine is made from the Kerner grape, a cross between Schiava and Riesling, which gives the wine extraordinary freshness and vibrancy.

The Kerner from the Abbey of Novacella is distinguished by its aromatic bouquet, where notes of white fruits, citrus, and light floral nuances typical of this grape variety stand out. On the palate, the wine offers a lovely acidity balanced by a delicate minerality that invites one sip after another. Its structure is elegant and persistent, with a finish that remains memorable for its cleanliness and freshness.

Ideal as an aperitif, this Kerner also pairs perfectly with light appetizers, fish-based dishes, and Asian cuisine. An exemplary wine that demonstrates Alto Adige's ability to produce white wines of great character and refinement.
