Description

James Suckling Review
Rated 92
An elegant wine with aromas of restrained dark fruit, earth, chocolate and black pepper, then flavors of blackberries and blood oranges. Medium-bodied, very savory and smoky, it shows firm structure and balance. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

Novaia Recioto della Valpolicella Classico "Le Novaje" DOCG 2022 - 500ml

Sweet. Velvety. Volcanic elegance in a half bottle.
The 2022 "Le Novaje" Recioto from Novaia is a single-vineyard, organically farmed dessert wine grown at 320 meters in Marano di Valpolicella. Crafted from Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and other native grapes, this wine undergoes a natural drying process for 140 days in a traditional fruttaio before slow fermentation and aging in wood. The result is a rich, velvety red with residual sugar, layered aromatics, and a long, elegant finish.
