The grapes are turned into wines with a strong character in the Abbazia winery.Both, the white varieties in Novacella (70%) as well as the red ones in Cornaiano and Bolzano (30%), are cultivated according to clear rules and harvested at peak maturity. At the winery, they use the greatest care to preserve each variety’s character that reflects its terroir in order to produce wines that are the most typical, full of character, and capable of developing with age.Abbazia di NovacellaVia Abbazia 1IT – 39040 Varnainfo</p>
