2024 'Luccio' Novello

After an average winter rainfall, our soil profile was full, giving the vines a great start to the growing season. Following early bud burst, a bad frost event hit some parts of the valley in late October. Spring was dry, but thunderstorms in November and December helped setup our vine canopies. A warm, dry harvest with low disease pressure allowed grape intake to run extremely smoothly. Novello is a style of wine made from many different varieties throughout Italy in answer to France’s Beaujolais.

A bright and energetic swirl of red fruits jump out of the glass. Strawberries, cherries with some pomegranate and cranberries offering a freshness.

Lively, bouncy and exciting mix of red fruits, confectionary, and blueberries. Dried herbs join in at the end with a nice taut acid line keeping everything fresh and delicious.
