Abbazia di Novacella Praepositus Gewurztraminer 2023

Abbazia di Novacella Praepositus Gewürztraminer 2023 is a fragrant alpine white wine that shows why Gewürztraminer remains one of Alto Adige’s most distinctive grapes. Crafted by one of Italy’s most historic wine estates, it combines expressive aromatic character with the freshness and precision that make the style so appealing.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright, luminous straw-gold hue. The nose is intensely perfumed, with notes of rose petals, lychee, ripe stone fruit, and exotic spice, layered over subtle mineral and citrus tones. On the palate, it is usually generous and rounded, yet balanced by lively acidity that keeps the wine fresh and focused. Expect a supple texture, floral and spicy complexity, and a long, aromatic finish. While enjoyable young for its vibrant perfume, it can also develop additional richness and nuance over a few years in bottle.

Production
Sourced from the cool, high-altitude vineyards of Trentino-Alto Adige, the wine benefits from a mountain terroir that promotes aromatic intensity and natural freshness. Grapes are typically harvested carefully to preserve their expressive character, then vinified in a way that emphasizes purity, varietal definition, and balance.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with Asian dishes, aromatic curries, shellfish, foie gras, mature cheeses, and spiced poultry. Serve chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, and decanting is generally not necessary unless you want to open up its perfume more quickly.

Producer
Abbazia di Novacella is one of the oldest wineries in the world, with origins dating back to the 12th century. Located in South Tyrol, it is widely respected for producing wines of clarity, elegance, and regional identity, and has become a benchmark name for high-quality Alpine whites in northern Italy.
