Background

Located in Valpolicella, the winery is built on the remains of an 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 garnet colour. Intense perfume, with predominant hints of red fruits and black cherries in the nose, combined with a peculiar note, typical of the drying process. Characteristic spicy hues, with scents of dark chocolate and tobacco, as well as “goudron” notes arising with maturity. Rich bodied, soft and persistent on the palate, with well-balanced alcohol, high extract, and a particularly intense mineral note on the finish, enhancing the product’s typicity.
