Bright garnet/purple color. Aromas of ripe black fruit, violets and sweet cocoa. Flavors of crushed blackberry, stone dust and a touch of black pepper spice. Medium-plus slightly tart finish and elevated acidity. No sign of oak aging. Fresh tasting but not overly fruit forward. Quite young and interesting. Chill-able Summer Red. Thanks for opening, Kase. — 3 months ago

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! — 2 years ago

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

Pale lemon color with aromas of white flesh fruits, spice and herb notes. On the palate flavors of white peach, apple and tangy lemon citrus with smoky earthy tones and spice. Good balance, medium finish ending with lemon zest, wet stone and pepper spice notes. Very Nice value. — 3 years ago

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

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

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. — 8 months ago

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. — 5 years ago
