Abbazia di Novacella 2024 Kerner
Price range: $24.99 through $240.00Alto Adige Valle Isarco Italy
There’s so much history in this bottle it would drain the ink of 100 pens to write it all down. Besides being one of Italy’s most beautiful wineries, with its backdrop against the Dolomites, it is also one of the oldest (2nd oldest, actually), founded in 1142 by Augustinian monks. Kerner, by contrast, is a regular arriviste, having been created by August Herald only in 1929. A cross between Riesling and the light red grape Schiava, it found a natural home in the cool alpine climate of the Alto Adige. The valleys here were carved by ancient glaciers, so the vineyards are steep, producing fresh, aromatic wines. Like this Kerner, which is layered with ripe apple, white peach, honeysuckle, and almonds. It’s rich, yet invigorating, and incredibly versatile at the table. 100% Kerner from gravelly marine soils planted at 600-750m in elevation. Vinified in stainless steel tanks using indigenous yeasts, then aged 6 months in stainless steel tanks.

Abbazia di Novacella 2024 Sylvaner
Price range: $27.99 through $276.00Alto Adige Valle Isarco Italy
The Sylvaner of the Novacella Abbey originates from vineyards located in the Bressanone basin, in the Isarco Valley, characterized by cool nights and good ventilation. It ferments and ages almost entirely in stainless steel, with a quarter of the mass carrying out both phases in acacia barrels. The aging duration is at least 6 months. Straw yellow in color with greenish hues, it has a beautiful fruity nose that revolves around hints of ripe pear and melon. On the palate it surprises in terms of robustness and structure, but at the same time for elegance. Perfect in combination with the first courses of South Tyrolean cuisine, especially with dumplings, but also with salads and asparagus mousse.

Altesino 2020 Brunello di Montalcino

Share Tweet
The 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino is a youthful red color and is expressive in the glass with notes of ripe strawberries, grenadine, crushed roses, sweet herbs, and licorice candies. Medium-framed, it has refreshing ripe acidity, fine, well-defined tannins, and a clean, even finish with fantastic, elegant length. Offering both refined complexity and true drinking pleasure, with nothing heavy or weighted, it’s fabulous all around, with notes of stone fruit on the finish. A highly appealing Brunello with a lot to enjoy over the coming 15 years, I would be thrilled to have bottles in my cellar to check in on regularly.
