The Novaia 2015 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corte Vaona is made with organic fruit. On first nose, you are immediately aware of the ripeness and heat of the vintage that is trapped so faithfully within the opulent bouquet displayed here. Baked cherry and blackcurrant segue to spice, earth and grilled herb. What I like about this new release from Novaia is the mouthfeel. The Corte Vaona is determined and strong, yet the power is contained to the slightly leaner texture of this versatile Amarone. The blend is 50% Corvina, 30% Corvinone and 20% Rondinella. Production is 10,000 bottles.
