Abbazia di Novacella

Pale straw colour accompanies citrus, peach and honeydew melon. The wine is medium-rich, fruity and direct, with orchard fruit. Tangy acidity appears on the finish. Vineyards stand between 600 and 700 metres on permeable moraine deposits of mica schist, paragneiss and quartzite. Grapes are harvested by hand; three quarters ferment and mature for six months in stainless steel, with one quarter in large oak casks.
