Enjoy Italy's new wine while in Sorrento

Light, fruity Vino Novello
During November you will see Vino Novello, Italy's new wine, on sale in the shops and being served in bars and restaurants in Sorrento.
The light, fruity, new red wine is enjoyable to drink and a bargain buy to take home with you.
Vino Novello is similar in taste, body and colour to the French Beaujolais Nouveau, which is exported to other countries after its release.
Like Beaujolais Nouveau, Italy's new wine should be drunk quickly after the bottle is opened. Unopened bottles should be keep for only a few months.
Italy's Vino Novello 2012 was launched on 6 November, ten days ahead of Beaujolais Nouveau and has gone on sale in many supermarkets, wine shops and bars.
A major area for production is the Veneto, with the merlot grape being the one most used by wine makers.
Make the most of the opportunity to taste an Italian Vino Novello while in Sorrento. Salute!
