Zaccagnini Ikebana Novello IGT 2023

AN ITALIAN ANSWER TO BEAUJOLAIS NOUVEAU! LIGHT AND FRUITY RED

 

"Deep red with violet hues. The bouquet is distinguished by fruity notes of cherry, blackberry and blueberry, hints of ripe banana and cloves. Dynamic and crisp, fresh and pleasant, almost silky mouthfeel.

Made from indigenous black grapes from the Province of Pescara, the grapes stay in an anaerobic environment for 10 days (“carbonic maceration”), pressing with a destemming presser and thermo-conditioned fermentation." - Zaccagnini

 

"Novello is an Italian term for a freshly made wine, and it is a light, fruity, red wine that is similar to its French cousin Beaujolais Nouveau in taste, body and color. Grapes used in Italian Novello however differ to the typical French variety used for Beaujolais.

The carbonic maceration technique is used for novello wine. Whole, rather than crushed grapes are fermented, allowing for only a minimum percentage of sugar to be converted into alcohol. This ensures the wine has a smooth, fruity flavour and little effect from tannins." - Enoteca
