Gewurztraminer

Not all estates can boast a long winemaking history like that of Novacella Abbey, where the Augustinian order has been producing wine since 1142! Centuries-old experience, combined with modern technologies and the great passion of those who collaborate in the vineyard and cellar, leads to the creation of wines with great personality capable of expressing all the potential of this border terroir. The Novacella Abbey is located in the northernmost wine-growing area of ​​Italy, in Alto Adige, where the altitude, between 600 and 900 metres, the cool climate and mineral-rich soils allow for the optimal development of aromas and of flavor, typical characteristics of the Isarco Valley wines such as Sylvaner, Müller Thurgau, Kerner, Gewürztraminer, Veltliner, whose grapes thrive on the sunny slopes around Novacella. The proprietary red grape varieties, however, are grown further south in the region and, precisely, Lagrein near Bolzano, Schiava Gentile, Pinot Noir and Moscato Rosa on the Corniano farm. Today the Abbey has 25 hectares of property, but produces grapes from around fifty hectares cultivated by the cooperative's members. The control of the grapes by the contributing members and the passion with which the Abbey has dedicated itself to the production of wines for centuries are synonymous with absolute quality, with labels faithful guardians of centuries-old traditions, never betrayed by innovative methodologies.

The Gewürztraminer of the Novacella Abbey places its vineyards at an altitude between 600 and 700 meters above sea level, the soils have a gravelly, silty and sandy origin, with rows exposed in a south and south-west direction. After the harvest, in which the grapes are carefully selected and harvested, the bunches are pressed and the must obtained is sent to the alcoholic fermentation phase through the activity of the yeasts, inside steel tanks. The process continues with a refinement of 6 months, always in steel containers, before being bottled and put on the market.
