This new Novello 2025 Fantini goes on sale November 6th! What is Novello wine? Novello 2025 is made from grapes that are processed directly from the vineyard to the table a few weeks after harvest. It's worth noting that the traditional winemaking process for Novello 2025 wine is completely different from that of other wines. The differences begin from day one. During harvest, the grapes are not destemmed, but placed in blending tanks along with carbon dioxide. This is also called "carbonic maceration," a term often used in the production of Novello 2025 wine.
The first wine from Italy in 2025
The grape bunches are pressed under their own weight, producing must that then ferments naturally thanks to a specific substance found only in whole bunches of grapes. This fermentation-promoting substance wouldn't be present if the grape bunches were pressed according to the usual process. At the end of this natural fermentation process, the Novello wine is ready to be bottled and enjoyed.
Soft and ripe this Novello 2025 Fantini
