An Italian Kerner here. Its a fascinating story, you must read this. Then you must got out and find a bottle of this $20 wine the next time you are in the mood for a Riesling.Since you ignored my demand to read that link I will summarize. Kerner is a cross between Riesling and a RED grape and was created in 1929. I hadn't heard of it but by now it might be the 2nd most planted grape in Germany. The winery, Abbazia di Novacella nestled into the Alps near the Austrian border is one of the oldest in the world, dating to 1142. Not only is this a wine I would buy again but it is enticing enough that I seriously want to visit the winery.
