​The Finer Wine Kits Novello Series: A New Era of Lower ABV Wine Kits

Posted by Matteo Lahm on 2nd Apr 2025

Wine kits are evolving, and the Finer Wine Kits' Novello Series is a testament to this evolution. This unique wine kit is not just another low ABV wine kit; it's a revolution in the world of home winemaking, offering a unique blend of affordability, ease of use, and lower alcohol without compromising flavor.

The Novello Series is Finer Wine Kits' answer to wine enthusiasts seeking lower-priced, ready-to-drink wines. But don't let the affordable price tag fool you. These kits utilize non-ultra-pasteurized concentrates, ensuring that you enjoy wines that not only taste better but are also easy to make. Novello in Italian means fresh young wine. When you make a Novello kit, that is what you will get.

Unlike higher alcohol wines that require sipping, cellaring, and contemplation, Novello wines are designed to be consumed, shared, and enjoyed. The lower ABV and gentler fermentation process are the secret weapons of this wine. An additional advantage of the lower ABV in the Novello Series is its ability to produce a more fruit-forward wine. The reason behind this is quite simple: less alcohol means less breakdown of the tannins. Alcohol is a powerful solvent, and in high quantities, it can significantly alter the breakdown of the fruit matter. By limiting the alcohol content, the Novello Series ensures that the natural fruit flavors remain more evident, resulting in a wine that is not only lighter and more refreshing but also more fruit-forward. This makes the Novello Series an excellent choice for those who appreciate the true, unadulterated flavors of the varietal grapes.

The Novello Series is also great if you want to enjoy the flavor of wine while limiting your alcohol intake. Sometimes you just want to relax and enjoy a few glasses without needing an hour to sober up after dinner. 11.5% ABV is almost 20% less alcohol than 14%. If that sounds counter intuitive, ABV is just the measurement of the alcohol per ratio to total fluid volume. When measuring the alcohol by itself, you get a very different picture. If you calculate 14% ABV in 14 equal parts, each percentage is 7.14% of the total alcohol. That's quite a lot.

As for drinking Novello reds, they are best served at room temperature or slightly chilled, around 55°F (13°C), to highlight their refreshing qualities. Many Italians even enjoy Novello reds cold, although they are equally delicious at ambient temperatures. The wine's fruity and light-bodied profile makes it a versatile companion to a wide range of dishes, from antipasti and charcuterie to pasta and pizza. Novello reds are also perfect summer wines, ideal for sipping by the pool or on your deck.

The Finer Wine Kit is an innovative wine kit that produces results closer to wine made from fresh grapes than other kits on the market. The kit contains perishable juice concentrate, which is shipped in refrigerated packaging to maintain the integral quality of the grape. This eliminates the cooked juice flavor commonly found in pasteurized wine kits, which can be stored warm.

In conclusion, the Novello Series from Finer Wine Kits is not just another low ABV wine kit. It's a game-changer, offering a unique blend of affordability, ease of use, and superior taste that is made in the USA. Embrace the vivacious nature of Novello wines and start enjoying the benefits of these lower ABV wines today!
