-
Kerin O'Keefe (2023 Vintage): 92 – "Tangy and delicious, the 2023 Abbazia di Novacella Pinot Grigio delivers aromas of tropical fruit, botanical herb and white stone fruit. On the creamy palate, tangy acidity accompanies banana, ripe pear and a hint of saline before a hazelnut close."
-
James Suckling (2023 Vintage): 91 – "Sliced apples, pears and lemons on the nose, with some wet-stone minerality. It's medium-bodied, very clean and flavorful. Drink now.
