Abbazia S.giorgio

Abbazia di Novacella (Stiftskellerei Neustift)

Alto Adige Pinot Grigio

Pale yellow green color, light body, faint peaches / pears on the nose with a hint of lime zest upon opening the bottle. Very smooth, easy sipping, hints of candied lime rind with a drop of minerality near the finish. Smoother than many Pinot Grigio, (Grilled chicken breast, fresh guacamole with chips, watermelon/cantaloup salad on the lanai for post solstice dinner) — 5 days ago

Lovely wine. A nice creaminess and vanilla combined with a Grüner Veltliner like crispness. Great with Indian Punjabi Goat and Fish Moilee. It can handle the spice. — 6 months ago

Orange Bianco Muscat of Alexandria 2021

Perfect to sip in the late summer sun by the pool. The notes of apricot are a delightful, refreshing surprise. — 2 years ago

Valle Isarco Grüner Veltliner 2022

Medium bodied and aromatic with lots of spiced pear and stern acidity. Paired with broccolini and fried garlic chips, red pepper flakes, and charred lemon. Founded in the 12th century by the Augustinian Order of Canons Regular. Organically farmed by Monks. The Dolomites hold a very special place in my heart. — 23 days ago

Praepositus Valle Isarco / Eisacktaler Sylvaner 2022

By far the best one from their white range.
Aged partially in acacia barrels, this shows a lovely blend of ripe pears, a touch of underripe white peach, a fresh herby mineral note - quite round yet so clean & precise.
Quite some presence on the palate. Medium body, zingy mineral acidity, beautiful mineral depth. Almost as if a slight tannic bite. Great balance & purity, beautiful long finish.
Blind I would have taken this for a racy Pinot Blanc.
Such a nice one!

Alto Adige - Valle Isarco Kerner 2020

Started out fruit forward, plums, blackberries. After a little more air, it mellowed, and the rich tannins and earthiness shown thru. An hour plus in a decanter is needed. Then it is more of an old world Bordeaux. Stews, lamb, short ribs. — 2 months ago

Valle Isarco / Eisacktaler Lagrein

Advertised as Italian cab - but lighter, wetter finish. Not overly dry or sweet. Very good. Complex flavor profile. — 4 months ago

Praepositus Alto Adige Valle Isarco Grüner Veltliner 2015

Delectable - this was a Kerner not a Gruner Veltliner. Had this at our son’s Wedding Dinner. No notes but have not had many Kerners in my time. Like a hypothetical cross between a Riesling and a Chardonnay. — 10 months ago
