The color goes from pale straw yellow with green highlights to pale gold; fruit and citrusy aromas; fresh and full-bodied.
Perfect for antipasti, and shellfish based dishes.
2010 vintage:
90 points, International Wine Cellar:
"Medium-dark yellow. Spicy, high-pitched aromas of stone fruits, flowers and nutmeg, along with more exotic notes of ginger and smoked sausage. Enters full and rich, with the sweetness of the apricot and spice flavors tempered by decent acidity and a hint of minerality. The long finish throws off waxy and floral nuances. A dash more acidity might have provided better clarity and lift, but it's a wonderful example of kerner. Abbazia di Novacella is amazingly adept at producing stellar quality entry-level kerner (and usually sylvaner too), and this vintage is no different."
