Pinot Grigio Abbazia di Novacella is born within the walls of an Augustinian abbey founded in 1142 at the gates of Bressanone, in the Isarco Valley, one of the oldest still-active abbeys in Italy. Here, the canons have been cultivating the vine for centuries, in one of the northernmost wine regions of the country, where altitude and temperature variations give rise to fresh and aromatic whites.
The Pinot Grigio from Novacella comes from vineyards located between 600 and 750 meters above sea level, facing south, southeast, and southwest on permeable morainic deposits of mica schist, paragneiss, and quartzite. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts, for about three-quarters in steel and for the remaining part in 30-hectoliter oak barrels, where the wine matures before blending.
This Alto Adige Pinot Grigio presents a straw yellow color with slight coppery reflections. On the nose, it offers wildflowers, green apple, and lemon zest, with a hint of melon and yellow-fleshed fruit. On the palate, it is fresh and savory, with good structure and a persistent almond-like finish. Ideal with fish appetizers, vegetable risottos, and white meats.
