Abbazia di Novacella-Stiftskellerei Kloster Neustift Praepositus Blauburgunder-Pinot Nero Riserva Sudtiroler, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy

點擊次數：3408

The 2005 Praepositus Pinot Nero offers up candied cherries, smoke and sweet toasted oak in a fairly large-scaled style of Pinot from Alto Adige. A more enlightened use of French oak allows for greater varietal character to come through and the results are striking. This is simply beautiful. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2013. 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.
