The vines grow approximately 260 meters above sea level on alluvial soil, formed from the deposits and sediments of flooded waterways. This phenomenon has given the soil a silty-sandy and porphyritic composition, ideal for growing these \u003cb\u003eLagrein\u003c\/b\u003e vines. The Novacella area is characterized by \u003cb\u003eslopes\u003c\/b\u003e exposed to the sun and the particular climate of Alto Adige, perfect for ripening the grapes. This wine is produced by the Novacella Abbey winery, not only an artistic masterpiece but also an excellent winery and owner of several vineyards. The fact that it is one of the few abbeys still actively producing wine makes this product even more prestigious, a symbol of an ancient custom. Indeed, the winemaking tradition has been alive for many centuries and continues to this day with the production of excellent white and red wines in the Alto Adige area. The harvest of the Lagrein grapes used to produce Lagrein from Novacella Abbey takes place at the end of September, followed by fermentation and maturation with natural yeasts in steel tanks at a temperature of 28°C. The Lagrein produced by Novacella Abbey is classified by the prestigious DOC (Controlled Designation of Origin) label.","brand":"Abbazia di Novacella","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44507119255723,"sku":"40743","price":15.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/abbazia-di-novacella-lagrein-2022_40743_1.jpg?v=1773696077"},{"product_id":"abbazia-di-novacella-praepositus-sylvaner-2022","title":"Abbazia di Novacella Praepositus Sylvaner 2022","description":"","brand":"Abbazia di Novacella","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44509896933547,"sku":"45659","price":21.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/abbazia-di-novacella-praepositus-sylvaner-2022_45659_1_98c7d4a6-61b5-4ef5-af5d-152487ab4611.webp?v=1773714326"},{"product_id":"abbazia-di-novacella-praepositus-gruner-veltliner-2022","title":"Abbazia di Novacella Praepositus Gruner Veltliner 2022","description":"A delicate, fresh, slightly aromatic white wine varying in colour between greenish yellow and golden yellow.","brand":"Abbazia di Novacella","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44510370300075,"sku":"46479","price":21.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/abbazia-di-novacella-praepositus-gruner-veltliner-2022_46479_1_4cb57168-7b5c-4620-9198-6c0ca445df69.webp?v=1773715033"},{"product_id":"abbazia-di-novacella-alto-adige-sylvaner-2023","title":"Abbazia di Novacella Alto Adige Sylvaner 2023","description":"","brand":"Abbazia di Novacella","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44511493718187,"sku":"46984","price":13.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/abbazia-di-novacella-alto-adige-sylvaner-2023_46984_1_5471a5f2-b712-4a69-8d71-945daf292c33.webp?v=1773718136"},{"product_id":"abbazia-di-novacella-praepositus-sauvignon-2022","title":"Abbazia di Novacella Praepositus Sauvignon 2022","description":"\u003cb\u003ePraepositus Sauvignon\u003c\/b\u003e is an excellent wine with a Controlled Designation of Origin (DOC).
