The 2009 Kerner Praepositus is a touch compact in this vintage. Pears, green apples, flowers, lime and minerals are some of the nuances that flow from this focused, medium-bodied white. Crushed rocks, slate and lime linger on the clean finish. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014. Importer: Abbazia di Novacella, USA, Sausalito, CA; tel. (917) 699-2647

The 2008 Kerner Praepositus shows a great deal of focus and energy in its white peaches, lime peel and flowers. This finely sculpted offering is a reference-point bottling for the region and happens to be plain delicious as well. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2013. Abbazia di Novacella is an excellent source for wines from Alto Adige loaded with varietal character. The entry-level whites (in the Alsatian-style bottles) are aged in steel. The entry-level reds are largely aged in cask while the wines from the top of the line Praepositus series see French oak.Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel. (212) 629-0200

The 2007 Praepositus Kerner is a drop-dead gorgeous white. This superb wine opens with compelling aromas of smoke, mango and minerals that lead to a rich, generous expression of ripe fruit. Soft-textured and expansive on the palate, it offers superb depth with lovely salinity on the close. 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.
