At a recent dinner featuring a great lineup of wines like Solaia, Quintarelli Amarone, and Shafer Hillside Select there was another wine that shined that isn't nearly as popular or similarly priced. It was the white wine that started the evening off, the 2009 Abbazia di Novacella Kerner. The perfect crisp white with great flavors of white fruits, with minerality and good weight as well.
I know what you're saying. What is Kerner? Kerner is a hybrid grape produced by a crossing of Trollinger (a red grape variety) and Riesling. Think of it as a Riesling with a bit more character and more full-bodied.
Anyway, it's a great bottle of wine that needs to be tasted to understand just how good it is. How many of us have actually tasted a Kerner before? Try this delicious example of Kerner and add another variety to your lifetime list of grapes tasted.
Antonio Galloni Wine Advocate 90 Points -- The 2009 Kerner is another fabulous wine from Abbazia di Novacella. The taut, mineral laced Kerner caresses the palate with expressive aromatics, chiseled fruit and fabulous overall balance. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2012.These entry-level, unoaked whites from Abbazia di Novacella in the Valle Isarco deliver plenty of bang for the buck.
