2023 'Luccio' Novello

Good winter rain allowed soil profiles to be full, giving the vines a great start to the growing season. A remarkably cool summer and long ripening period produced fruit with a perfect balance of good colour, high natural acidity, and concentrated flavours.

Novello is a style of wine made from many different varieties throughout Italy in answer to France’s Beaujolais. Released in the same year that it is made to celebrate the harvest, and intended to be consumed in its youth.

Closed vessels, 10 days on skins. 3 months in stainless
steel, and seasoned French

The same generous, confectionary red fruits flowing through with some blueberry notes chiming into the vibrant palate. All rolling across the mouth to a savoury, dried herb finish supported with a bright acid line to keep it refreshing and delicious.

An energetic lift of sweet red fruits; macerated strawberries and maraschino cherries with some pomegranate and cranberries offering a fresh backbone.
