"The Abbazia di Novacella 2021 Alto Adige Valle Isarco Sylvaner is silky and long with jackfruit, quince, yellow papaya and passion fruit. These tropical aromas are subdued, however, and not overplayed. The wine maintains an elegant and delicate fruit profile over a lean-bodied mouthfeel."

"Extremely refined, this lovely white opens with delicate scents of spring blossom, white stone fruit a whiff of graphite. The delicious, elegant palate delivers creamy pear, ripe honeydew melon and apple alongside savory mineral notes that lift the juicy finish. ‡ Kerin O,Keefe"
