Features of Novello-Vello

Novello-Vello is a new product made from 100% Sangiovese grapes, an Italian grape variety produced by Okayama Wine Valley. The Sangiovese grapes are carefully cultivated in Okayama, a grape-growing region that prides itself on its traditional shelf cultivation methods, harvested late, and the grapes are destemmed by hand from the bunches.

This method allows the grapes to enjoy a rich, lingering aroma derived from the skins and a complex, broadening aftertaste. This wine was created with the image of a wine to be enjoyed at a seaside café, enjoying a glass of wine in a chill, mellow, and amber atmosphere.

The name "Novello-Vello" comes from the Italian word "Novello," meaning new wine, and was inspired by the attack of Tomo and Tomo's dog, "Novello-Vello," in the Okayama Wine Valley. The name is also inspired by words related to sake, such as "drinking," and "getting tongue-tied. The label is a tribute to our beloved dog, Tamatomo-sama.

We believe that both dog lovers and non-dog lovers will like the label.

Novello-Vello will be available in a limited edition of only 567 bottles, all in reusable 520ml bottles with no added sulfites. The reusable bottles are also reusable, so the wine can be reused after consumption.

■Set of two bottles is recommended.

When purchasing online, shipping costs are relatively high for a single bottle, so we recommend purchasing a set of two bottles. Also, if you compare this wine with "Unnatural" (a sparkling red wine made from lightly colored Sangiovese grapes, lightly pressed and bottled to trap the carbon dioxide gas generated by the fermentation process), you will realize that the same grape variety can produce completely different tastes depending on the production method. We recommend that you try them together as a set.

1 Sangiovese

1 Sangiovese is the most widely grown grape variety in Italy, and is used to make Chianti, a representative wine of the Tuscany region of Italy. It is characterized by its high acidity and abundance of tannins, and its fruitiness and acidity can be enjoyed.

The vineyards are small, within easy reach of the winery, and the grapes are carefully nurtured so that the winery can interact with the vines while feeling the breeze that passes through the vineyards.
