It is a wine that clearly speaks of its environment of origin and stands out for its balance, sapidity, and gustatory drive.

Territory and wine style

The Alto Adige Valle Isarco DOC designation expresses one of the most interesting areas for whites in northern Italy. The vineyards of Bressanone and Varna, located between 650 and 700 meters above sea level, benefit from favorable exposures to the south and southwest and from soils of morainic origin, rich in gravelly sandy silt. This context contributes to a fine and vertical profile, while vinification and maturation in stainless steel maintain the aromatic purity of the Praepositus Kerner 2019. The result is a modern, precise, and territorial white, designed for those seeking elegance and character.

Tasting notes

The bouquet is engaging and articulated, with aromas reminiscent of white-fleshed fruit, floral notes, and a pleasant aromatic vein typical of the grape variety. On the palate, the Praepositus Kerner shows a lovely juiciness, accompanied by sapidity and a well-defined freshness, supported by a balanced structure and an alcohol content that provides breadth without heaviness. The finish is clean, harmonious, and persistent.

Recommended pairings

Thanks to its taut and aromatic profile, this wine easily pairs with seafood appetizers, delicate first courses, baked or grilled fish, shellfish, and light white meats. It is also very interesting with alpine cuisine, semi-hard cheeses, and flavorful vegetarian dishes, such as savory pies, seasonal vegetables, and herb risottos.
