Fodor's Expert Review Abbazia di Novacella

Bressanone (Brixen) Church
Novacella Monastery, Varna, Bolzano, Terntino, Alto Adige, Italy

This Augustinian abbey founded in 1142 has been producing wine for at least nine centuries and is most famous for the delicate stone-fruit character of its dry white Sylvaner. As you wander the delightful grounds, note the progression of Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque building styles. Guided tours of the abbey, in various languages, depart daily, except Sunday. Guided tours of the vineyard are also available, in English, by reservation.
