WINE DESCRIPTION
Abbazia di Novacella (Stiftskellerei Neustift) Praepositus Moscato Rosa is a delightful wine produced by the historic Abbazia di Novacella winery located in the picturesque region of Alto Adige in Italy. This wine is made from the Moscato Rosa grape variety, which is grown in the winery's vineyards that are situated at an altitude. The winemaking process involves a careful selection of the grapes, followed by a gentle pressing and fermentation on the skins, and aging afterward, in stainless steel tanks. The resulting wine is a beautiful shade of pink with a delicate aroma of roses and a sweet, fruity flavor that is balanced by elevated acidity. This wine is perfect for those who enjoy a light, aromatic wine with a touch of sweetness.
