Abbazia di Novacella Gewurztraminer 2025

Abbazia di Novacella Gewürztraminer is a beautifully expressive white wine from Alto Adige, celebrated for its intense aromatics, balance, and elegance. Crafted by the Augustinian monks of Abbazia di Novacella, it reflects one of northern Italy’s most distinctive terroirs and has earned strong acclaim from critics in Italy and abroad.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright, clear straw-yellow color with hints of gold. The nose is immediately aromatic and generous, offering classic Gewürztraminer notes of lychee, rose petals, exotic spices, ripe peach, and citrus peel, all lifted by a fresh mountain purity. On the palate, the wine is structured and well-balanced, with a rounded texture, vivid aromatic intensity, and a refined, elegant finish. The combination of ripe fruit, gentle spice, and lively freshness gives it both charm and depth. While highly enjoyable युवा upon release, it can also develop nicely over the short to medium term, gaining complexity with a few years of cellaring.

Production
The vines grow in the Bressanone, Varna, and Naz Sciaves areas at 600 to 700 meters above sea level, on gravelly, clay-rich, and sandy soils. South and southwest exposures, warm daytime temperatures, and cool nights create an ideal microclimate for aromatic concentration and freshness. The grapes are carefully hand-selected at harvest in October, then gently pressed before fermentation in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts at a controlled 20°C. The wine is matured in stainless steel for at least six months before bottling to preserve its purity and fragrance.

Food & Serving
This Gewürztraminer is a natural match for aromatic dishes such as Thai or Vietnamese cuisine, spiced poultry, curry, shellfish, and soft washed-rind cheeses. It also works beautifully with Asian-inspired starters and lightly spiced vegetable dishes. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C; decanting is not necessary.
