Abbazia di Novacella Kerner

This has a bright, citrusy, leafy profile with yellow plums and ferns. Tart on the palate with zesty acidity, light body and dairy flavors. The lemony finish is polished yet not long. Drink now.

The 2024 Kerner opens with a spicy blend of lime zest, sour melon and fermented ginger. It is energetic and finessed, yet it has a solid core of citrus-infused orchard fruits that adds cheek-pinching tension. Sweet herbal tones resonate as the 2024 tapers off with admirable length and a gentle saline tinge that lingers.
