The 2007 Gewurztraminer offers a beguiling combination of rich, varietal fruit but the vinification in steel preserves freshness and focus. Gorgeous aromatics lead to notes of passion fruit, lime peel, and spices as this generous, engaging wine opens up in the glass. As is often the case, the estate’s Gewurztraminer is one of the finest wines in this entry-level series. It is highly recommended. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2009. 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.
