Abbazia di Novacella Kerner 2011

Description

An aromatic white wine which has become a speciality of the Eisack Valley: pale straw yellow with green reflexes, apple and peach fruit on the nose with a hint of mango, ripe and full on the palate, its opulence cut by crisp acidity.

Kerner is a hybrid grape produced by a crossing of Trollinger (a red grape variety) and Riesling. Think of it as a Riesling with a bit more character and more full-bodied.

Perfect Pairings

Excellent with cold summer pasta salads, it has the weight to hold up to pork, veal, roast chicken or swordfish.
