WINE DESCRIPTION
Abbazia di Novacella (Stiftskellerei Neustift) Sylvaner is a white wine produced by the historic Abbazia di Novacella winery located in the Alto Adige region of Italy. The wine is made from the Sylvaner grape variety, which is grown in the winery's vineyards located at an altitude of 600-900 meters above sea level. The vineyards are characterized by a unique microclimate that is influenced by the nearby mountains and the cool winds that blow through the valley. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing of the grapes and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's fresh and fruity character. The resulting wine is crisp, refreshing, and aromatic, with notes of green apple, pear, and citrus. It is a perfect match for seafood, salads, and light pasta dishes.
