At the end of October - early November, all Italy from the north to the south honors it, and all festivals and holidays are devoted to him: young guilt - "Novello" (Novello).
One of the first gifts of Vakha, it is a red wine with an intense color and a strong aroma - the first wine of the new harvest, which appears on our tables in the first days of November. 
At the Appenninsky semidrow, the manufacturement of Novello is carried out practically throughout Italy, including island territories, from any variety of grapes (preferably red). However, preference is given to the varieties of Alianico (Aglianico), Cannonau (Cannonau), Barber (Barbera), Merlot, Nero d'Avola (Nero d'Avola), Corvin (Corvina), Refosco (Refosco), Cabernet (Cabernet) , Sovignon (Sovignon) and Sangiovese. 
Its main characteristic is the process of vinification, called "carbonate maceration", that is, the fermentation of whole berries of grapes. The law is prescribed to use at least 30% of the wine obtained using this method.
A clearly regulated process involves accommodation in steel containers of whole grape closes, just collected from the vine. Carbon dioxide is added to the berries and the mixture is heated until the temperature exceeds 35 °. 
Grapes leave to wander for a period of 5 to 20 days. During this period, sugar turns into alcohol, with the separation of glycerol. Then grapes are powered and subjected to traditional fermentation for about 5-6 days. The resulting wine should have a minimum fortress of 11 °. 
The resulting wine should have a minimum fortress of 11 °. When the wort turns into wine, the novello bottles and appears on sale. 
It is because of the content of alcohol and polyphenols that this wine should be drinking young. His tendency to ripening and freshness of fragrance limit its life cycle one year. Thus, it is better not to give it too much and used optimally in the first 6-12 months after production. Therefore, the deadline for bottling this wine is December 31 of that year, when the harvest used grapes was collected. 
There is also a blended young wine: mixtures "Novello" with other, longer wines at the moment of bottling. Such a blender can be consumed until August month, while one hundred percent novels should be cut faster.
Currently, protected and promoted by the Institute of Italian Young Wine -Onello (Istituto Vino Novello Italiano), established in 2000, Novello, in comparison with its French ancestor of Beaujolais, is characterized by a large content of carbon dioxide, has a bright red shade; This is a dynamic, attractive wine, with a well-distinguishable velvety-mild taste, thanks to some sugar residues. 
Another characteristic of this wine is that, thanks to the law, it can go on sale solely after midnight on November 6 of the same year, when the harvest was assembled. It is also envisaged that only within the framework of special events, young wines can be tasting, starting on November 5th. It is "unlocking" exactly at midnight makes even more exciting expectation of the "exit" of this wine. And indeed, since the first week of November, events and events dedicated exclusively guilt "Novello" are organized throughout Italy. Sometimes the holiday takes only one evening, sometimes lasts a whole day, and sometimes the real enogastronomic routes are organized to evaluate not only the local treat, but also the gifts of nearby lands. 
Since ancient times, a religious holiday is the day of St. Martin (San Martino) - it is of particular importance for the winemakers calendar: this is the main date in the production cycle. Indeed, the peasant saying reads: "On St. Martin, all the wedge becomes wine." And it is in order to celebrate the birth of young wine, the new crop wines, in November, many wine cellars across Italy opens for enotourists and offers a special wine tasting and seasonal products.
