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

Stunning! Delicate aromas of sweet grass, herbs, lemon custard. Such a creamy mouthfeel with prickly acidity and minerally finish. A new staple! — 4 years ago

Quite simply- a beautiful wine! A grape that is often overlooked but should not be. Straw yellow color with a hint of green. Aromas of peaches, lemon, lime and a touch of herbs . Lemon, gooseberries and mint on the pallet. Minerals and wet stony notes on the finish. Medium bodied with a creamy texture. Excellent! — 5 years 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

Nach 15 jahren wieder mal gerrunken und es ist wie dmnals. Frisch wie gletscherwasser, aromatisch fast wie ein gewürztraminer, aber mit viel floralen aromen. Zugänglich, süffig. Gefällt vom ersten schluck an. — 3 months ago

Love this varietal. Light golden color with even lighter green highlights. Aromas of lemon zest, white flowers, spice and a hint of petrol. Pallet features peach, apricot and ripe citrus fruit with an unmistakable earthy/mineral note on the finish. Good balance of acidity and alcohol. — 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

What a find. Is it German? Is it French? No, apparently it’s Italian and it’s glorious. This was a 2018 — 6 years ago
