FIRST GRAPES OF THE HARVEST CREATE NOVELLO AND A CAUSE FOR CELEBRATIONS
As the bright, fresh colors of summer give way to the subdued golden tones of autumn, the changing season signals something special. In Italy, it is the release of Novello every year in early November. And, with a taste of summer’s final fruits, it’s something worth celebrating.
Made from the first grapes of the season, Novello, or “new wine,” is available just two months following the harvest and is intended to be enjoyed young. It is distinguished by an unmistakably bright red color and full-bodied fruitiness. Novello is thought of, even if only allegorically, as a predictor of the year’s vintage.
