The 2006 Gewurztraminer reveals expressive aromatics and lovely fruit on a fat, opulently textured frame, with notable persistence and follow through on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2008. Abbazia di Novacella is located in the Valle Isarco, the most northerly viticultural region in Italy. The estate is a great source for value-priced whites. The entry-level wines are aged in stainless steel and bottled with plastic corks so they are best consumed young. In particular, the wines made from indigenous varieties are well worth seeking out. These wines beautifully express the unique qualities of their respective varieties and the unique Valle Isarco terroir. The Praepositus range encompasses the top selections. Unfortunately I was only able to taste the Kerner from this group of whites. The red Praepositus wines have never been fully convincing. There are among the most heavy, overly concentrated wines being made in Alto Adige.Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel. (212) 629-0200
