16/10/2006 - NOVELLO IN WINERY 2006

From the Harvest Festivities to the release of Novello Wine, the wait is short, and some wineries of the Wine Tourism Movement also this year will open for the enlivening the festivities dedicated to Novello Wine.
The third edition of "Novello in the Winery" will offer wine tourists the opportunity to enter the cellars at an exciting time. The object of the festivities is the tasting of the first fruit of the harvest, Novello Wine. On Sunday, November 12 from 10 a.m. to 18 p.m. (free entrance), the invitation is for the wine expert and novice.

"For many, Novello Wine is a problem - says Chiara Lungarotti, President of Wine Tourism Movement - we want to re-open the debate in a pertinent and not generic way about this first fruit of the harvest: in the respect of the rules for carbonic maceration and the producers' adherence to those rules, Novello is a good product that has an excellent impact on the Italian market.
Novello has substituted the joviality and happiness that in the past was reserved for grape must.
It is non the some thing, we all know that, but why denigrate, or even to be hostile to a product that enters in a lot of homes, even those where wine is not always on the table?
For MTV, Novello in the Winery is the opportunity to continue spreading wine culture and enhancing the role of the winemakers, giving recognition to our companies that produce real Novello, in the respect of the rules".

The intense bouquet of the maturing wine, splendid landscapes of the vineyards in their warm fall colours, this is setting for "Novello in the Winery". The participating Regions have various programs.
