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.
THE VINTAGE:
The 2022/2023 winter was mild, with below average rainfall in the northern part of Italy. Spring temperatures were above-average resulting in premature budbreak; however May was abnormally rainy which caused a reduced fruit-set and increased disease pressure. Part of the vineyard was flooded for several days during mid- May. A dry and warm June and July helped to recover the delay and contained the risks of mildew. A dry and unusually warm August, September and first half of October saved the vintage.
ABOUT THE VINEYARD:
The vineyard is located in the IGT Rubicone, in the rich and fertile region of Emilia Romagna. The IGT takes its name from the Rubicon River. The Trebbiano vines are planted in clay soils which offer good water retention properties which help to ensure sufficient water supply to the vines during the warm summer. The winters are cool and the summers are warm and dry. The vines are trained according to Guyot or Geneva Double Curtain methods. The vineyard is managed with Integrated Pest Management, which aims to reduce the use of sprays and protects the biodiversity and ecology of the vineyard.
THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
The grapes were briefly macerated on their skins at 10°C followed by gentle pressing. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of around 19°C, with a selected yeast. The wine was then filtered and left to rest in tank until bottled.
TASTING NOTE:
A light, dry and refreshing white wine from the Trebbiano grape, with notes of citrus, acacia flowers and a touch of minerality leading to a zesty and lingering finish.
GRAPE VARIETY:
Trebbiano 100%.
