Kerner: the alpine white of the collection
The Kerner collection gathers some of the most interesting expressions of this aromatic grape variety grown in South Tyrol, particularly in the Isarco Valley and in mountainous areas where freshness, temperature variation, and mineral soils contribute to defining crisp and precise wines. It is a selection designed for those seeking elegant, taut, and fragrant whites, with a recognizable personality and a consistently satisfying drink.
A grape variety with aromatic and vertical personality
Kerner is a white wine capable of uniting aromatic intensity and structure while maintaining a marked freshness. In the selection, you will find different vintages and interpretations, including versions from Abbazia di Novacella, Manni Nossing, Strasserhof, and Tauber, as well as labels like Pojer e Sandri and special variations such as late harvests and passito wines. This makes the collection particularly interesting for those who want to compare different styles of the same grape variety.
Territory: Isarco Valley and South Tyrol
Most of the wines present refer to the Alto Adige Valle Isarco DOC or the Alto Adige DOC, two fundamental references for understanding the identity of this selection. In these areas, Kerner expresses fine aromas, citrus and floral notes, accents of white fruit, and a mineral texture that makes it ideal both as an aperitif and at the table. The more mature or late versions add depth and a more enveloping dimension, without losing balance.
How to choose the right Kerner
Within the collection, you will find labels such as Praepositus Kerner 2019 Alto Adige Valle Isarco DOC, Kerner Alto Adige Valle Isarco DOC 2020, Kerner 2022 Alto Adige Valle Isarco DOC Strasserhof, and Kerner Alto Adige DOC 2019 - Manni Nössing, along with sweeter interpretations like Essenzia vino Bianco Tardivo Dolomiti IGT and PRAEPOSITUS KERNER PASSITO Alto Adige Valle Isarco DOC. The choice depends on the occasion: for a dry and vertical white, it’s better to lean towards the classic vintages; for those seeking complexity and persistence, late harvests and passito wines offer a richer and more meditative profile.
Recommended pairings
Kerner pairs naturally with delicate and flavorful dishes: fish appetizers, white meats, seasonal vegetables, light risottos, and fresh cheeses. The more aromatic versions enhance mountain cuisine and not overly intense spicy preparations, while the late or passito interpretations pair well with fruit-based desserts, blue cheeses, or moments of tasting after dinner. It is a versatile type, capable of elegantly accompanying the meal or standing out as a meditation wine.
