NOVELLO Marca Trevigiana IGT

Production area:

Novello wine results from the carbonic maceration of the best grapes of the red Merlot and Cabernet varieties, which are the typical vines of the Treviso district. These two vines are widely grown in Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Trentino Alto Adige, Piedmont, Lombardy, Emilia,Toscana and Lazio.

Vinification system:

Carbonic maceration is a vinification technique used for the production of red wines that are soon drinkable. Carbon maceration reduces the acidity of the young grapes, and results in a harmonious and rotund red wine that can be drunk from November on. The grapes are harvested inside boxes when perfectly ripe and healthy, and are not crushed. Small purposely-built containers are filled with grapes, closed and filled with carbon dioxide. Fermentation then occurs inside the entire grapes, under the action of enzymes which reduce grape acidity. The grapes – still almost completely entire - are removed from the containers after approximately 20 days and are crushed. Must fermentation occurs inside tanks at controlled temperature.
