Novaia

Novaia produces wines from Valpolicella, the Veneto region renowned for its distinctive dried-grape winemaking tradition. The winery's portfolio centers on the classic Valpolicella blend of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella—grapes that thrive in the region's limestone-rich terrain and cool Alpine influence. Fapulito, the winery's flagship, draws from these three varieties to create a wine of depth and structure. The Corte Vaona Amarone della Valpolicella Classico follows the region's appassimento method, where grapes are dried before fermentation to concentrate flavors and alcohol. The Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore, a mid-weight expression, uses the same blend to bridge the gap between fresh and aged styles. All three wines have been assessed by major critics including Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Decanter, reflecting their standing within the category. Novaia's work exemplifies the technical precision required to balance the ripeness and tannin structure these northern Italian varieties demand.
