The hoops that wineries jump through to craft their unique wines in the Valpolicella can seem anachronistic, yet tradition runs deep in these hills -- and the wines simply must be tasted to be believed. Grapes for this character-rich Ripasso are dried for months after the harvest then gently pressed for a wine that is vibrantly dry yet utterly, uncannily rich and complex on the tongue. It is autumn in a bottle, with the scents of truffles and chestnuts roasting in the oven...the 2006 vintage to boot is an extraordinary one in Italy, giving this already rich, sapid Ripasso another layer of concentration and intensity. Crushed cherries, red roses and black plums are endlessly juicy and pleasurable on the tongue.

Novaia Valpolicella Classico 2009
Italy
/
Veneto
A unique blend of native Veronese grapes—Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella (the same you'll find in Amarone wines). The medium-bodied mouth is zesty and bright, with summer-ripe yet vibrant red cherries and tart pie cherries, plenty of black pepper and a lively edge of citrus zest. Hints of cinnamon, more pepper and a bit of cherry skin show on the brisk finish.

Novaia Amarone della Valpolicella Corte Vaona 2006
Italy
/
Veneto
An abundantly spicy Amarone from one of the more legendary vintages in Italy; a riot of baking aromas and serious character set this decadent yet chiseled wine apart. Rich yet balanced flavors of cherry and cola, cassis and dried plums slather the palate. The finish is more spice and plenty of mineral energy. A stunning example of the greatness (and almost magical potential) of fine Amarone.

Very low yields and a slow maturation means a wine with impressive concentration and succulence—perfectly ripe red berries and cranberries are washed with what we imagine as crushed glacial ice; this is invigorating Alpine red wine!

Novaia Valpolicella Classico Superiore I Cantoni 2004
Italy
/
Veneto
The Vaona family have perfected this “passito” method, a process that dries grapes for a short time while retaining a vibrant Valpolicella character. A blend of local varietals dries for just 30 days, and then is pressed and vinified for 18 months in barrel. Notes of chocolate and coffee, berries and white peaches—you just have to taste it to believe it.
