Novaripa
Novaripa operates in Abruzzo, the rugged region of Central Italy where Adriatic winds and limestone soils shape distinctive white wines. The winery produces Agronika Pecorino, a wine built from the native Pecorino grape—a variety that thrives in Abruzzo's continental climate and yields crisp, mineral-driven expressions. Alongside this regional anchor, Novaripa makes Monatic Amber from Pinot Grigio and Monatic Rosé, each calibrated to the precision that defines contemporary Abruzzese winemaking. These wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast. Novaripa's portfolio reflects the region's shift toward clarity and freshness, moving beyond the heavy-handed styles of decades past. The winery's focus on white varieties—whether indigenous or international—positions it within Abruzzo's modern identity, where acidity and minerality matter more than oak or extraction.
