Description

ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
The grapes for the Novità wines are sourced from Italy’s premium wine producing regions, Emilia Romagna and Veneto (Pinot Grigio). Trebbiano and Sangiovese are the archetypical mainstays of many a trattoria and offer delicious easy-drinking alternatives to international varieties, while the Pinot Grigio offers excellent typicity. The Novità collection is made by winemaker Enrico Salvatori of Cevico, one of Italy’s most important wine-making organisations, who own over 6,700 hectares of vines, so consistency of quality is guaranteed.

ABOUT THE VINEYARD:
The Sangiovese vines find their ideal, natural habitat in the hilly districts of Romagna and assume a strong, structured personality in the territory of Rimini. Spur and cordon training methods are used on the vines, which are grown in clay and stony soils.

THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
Traditional red wine vinification took place in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks, preserving the freshness and the primary aromas. The grapes were then macerated on their skins at 25°C for a period of seven days, extracting the rich colour and flavours. The wine was then drawn off, softly pressed and went through malolactic conversion resulting in a softer mouthfeel, before resting in tank for five months prior to bottling.

OUR TASTING NOTES:
Ripe Sangiovese grapes deliver great flavours in the glass. Smooth with juicy redcurrant and raspberry fruit leading to a fresh finish.

GRAPE VARIETY:
Sangiovese 100%.
