WINE DESCRIPTION

Abbazia di Novacella Praepositus Grüner Veltliner is a flagship expression of the Eisack Valley's mountain viticulture, crafted by one of Italy's oldest and most prestigious wineries. Produced from estate-owned vineyards situated 650–700 meters above sea level on sandy, gravelly soils, this wine reflects the precision and elegance of South Tyrolean whites. After careful hand harvesting, the grapes undergo soft pressing and ferment with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks, followed by six months of maturation in steel and three months in the bottle. The result is a refined, mineral-driven wine, showcasing the finesse of its terroir, marked by intriguing smoky complexity and vibrant freshness, making it an exceptional representative of northern Italian winemaking artistry.
