Abbazia di Novacella (Stiftskellerei Neustift)

Praepositus Riserva Pinot Nero 2016

Rich aromas of black and almost dried fruits, light and tart on the palate with blackberries and tart black cherry acidity, earthy soft tannins, and a nice long finish. I don't usually like Italian reds and definitely don't drink a lot of Italian Pinot, but maybe I should. — 6 months 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!

Riserva Praepositus Valle Isarco / Eisacktaler Lagrein 2016

Haven’t had a Lagrein in quite some time.
This is typically dark both in colour & flavour with fresh, ripe blueberries & huckleberries, some dark plums and a healthy pinch of exotic spice - anise, allspice, cardamom, black pepper.
On the palate this is silky & plush yet with vibrant acidity and nice juicy tannins. Good weight & length, with the wood perfectly integrated & showing a nice backdrop to the ripe fruit.
A lovely wine.

Valle Isarco Alto Adige Kerner 2024

A return to form after the last vintage was too high alcohol and too oddly tropical. Very nice - crisp, interesting, expressive fruit, great acid. Good value. — 7 months ago

Valle Isarco / Eisacktaler Pinot Nero 2021

Abbazia di Novacella – Pinot Nero 2021
Alto Adige DOC – Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy 🇮🇹

Overview:
From one of Europe’s northernmost vineyards, this Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir) reflects the cool-climate precision of Alto Adige. Crafted by Abbazia di Novacella, a historic monastery estate dating back to the 12th century.

Aromas & Flavors:
Fresh red berries lead the way, cranberry, wild strawberry, and a hint of red currant. Subtle herbal notes and a whisper of spice frame the fruit beautifully.

Mouthfeel:
Light-bodied, crisp, and refreshingly acidic, with silky tannins and a clean, vibrant finish. This is a bright, lifted expression of Pinot Nero, leaning on freshness rather than weight.

Food Pairings:
Perfect with grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, or lighter pasta dishes. It also shines alongside charcuterie and alpine cheeses.

Verdict:
A lively, refreshing Pinot Nero that captures Alto Adige’s alpine terroir with finesse. Elegant and approachable, with just enough complexity to keep each sip engaging. Cheers!

🍷 Personal Pick Highlight:
Enjoyable slightly cooled, this Pinot Nero doubles as a versatile red for warmer days, a wonderful alpine expression that drinks beautifully outside the usual Pinot Noir framework.

2019 vintage. Definitely needs time. Concentrated mineral reminds me of Savennieres meets Alpine white. Golden apple peel, lemon peel, lemon pith, dried chamomile and other white flowers, light nuttiness. — 5 years ago
