Our ReviewCustomer Reviews

Alto Adige, Italy

With the Abbazia’s 2019 Kerner featured in July’s newsletter gone in a flash, we’re thrilled to follow it up with the even finer 2020 rendition. The Kerner grape is a delicious crossing of Riesling and Trollinger (locally, Schiava Grossa) that fuses the perfume and elegance of Riesling with the snappy, bright-fruited nature of the Trollinger. The Abbazia di Novacella 2020 reflects a pale green-tinted gold in the glass followed by an opulent bouquet of grapefruit, muskmelon, quince, and ginger. Brisk and mineral-driven on the palate, the wine fuses Key lime zest, grapefruit, green melon, and yellow apple fruit with suggestions of honeysuckle blossoms, angelica root, and tarragon. Clean, focused, and refreshing, the wine finishes with citric acidity propelling a smoky mineral soil expression. A gorgeously elegant and perfumed northeastern Italian bianco from the Valle Isarco, Kerner’s finest terroir, pair this grand cru example over the next two years with white-fleshed fish preparations, quiches and savory tarts, mild Asian cuisines, and firm cow’s milk cheeses.
