Background

Located in Valpolicella, the winery is built on the remains of ancient farmhouse dating back to the 15th century. Novaia makes the most out of the land – the sloping vineyards are located on large deposits of limestone-marne. The Novaia estate produces four great wines with the passion of the traditional Italian winemaker and with the tools of the modern artist.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby colour. Intense, clean perfume with hints of spices in the nose and a definite note evoking the double fermentation on the Amarone pomaces (ripasso technique).
In the palate it has good alcohol, medium-low acidity, developed tannins. Full body and texture, savoury, persistent, nicely harmonious.
