Abbazia di Novacella Kerner 2022
Founded in 1154 by Augustine monks high up in the Val Isarco near the Austrian border, the Abbey at Novacella is most certainly Italy’s and quite possibly one of the world’s oldest active wineries. Kerner is a cross between Riesling and Schiava which was created in 1929 at a German research centre and named after a 19th-century doctor famed for his songwriting.
It has a Riesling-like character with notes of peaches, apricots and tangerines on the nose. It is very lively, juicy and sleek on the palate with a mineral-rich finish.
