The 2007 Praepositus Moscato Rosa is made in an unusually intense, full-bodied style for this grape. A compelling array of mulling spices, sweet herbs and wild cherries emerge from this complex and richly-textured sweet red wine. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2011.Abbazia di Novacella is located in one of the most breathtakingly beautiful corners of Italy. The estate makes a wide range of wines across different levels of quality, as is the custom in these parts. The single-variety wines (in the Alsatian-style bottles) are aged in steel and made in a fresh style. The high-end Praepositus wines offer greater complexity and structure. I am happy to report that the Praepositus line, the reds in particular, are being made in a far more elegant style than has been the case in the recent past.Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel.
