The producer

Novaia is located in one of the most suggestive and luxurious areas of Alta Valpolicella, on the top of a gentle and sunny hill and on the left of the Marano Valley. At Novaia they adopt century-old traditions passed down over the years: already in 1908 the Modern Industrial Fair of the city of Verona awarded Paolo Vaona the Grand Prix and Gold Medal Diploma for the wines he produced. Today Cesare and Gianpaolo Vaona, with their sons, perpetuate his ancient tradition. The winery is run according to modern and yet ancient and traditional winemaking techniques, vineyards have been replanted to valoryze the tipical varieties and and many studies concerning drying grapes have been made.

Best with

Tradition suggests great dishes based on game, grilled, roasted or braised meat, roast lamb or goat, slightly fat, tasty and mature cheese. Excellent at the end of a meal. It is perfect to be enjoyed alone in front of a fireplace as a "meditation wine", with a good book or in pleasant company. The unusual combination with sweet-and-sour flavours, the traditional dishes of Middle-East, Asian and Latin-American cuisine is never disappointing.

How to serve it

It is recommended to open the bottle at least an hour before serving and decant the wine into a large carafe so that it has a chance to air and its rotundity can be appreciated in full. The wine should be served at 18-20 °C. The best glasses to use are clear, transparent crystal goblets.

How to keep

When well preserved it can enhance all its features till twenty years following vintage. It is advisable to store bottles horizontally in a cool and dark place with constant humidity and temperature.
