Organic for lots of people is a trend, for others a business opportunity. For Novaia’s owners, Marcello and Cristina it was neither. For Novaia bio production is the natural consequence of a lifestyle. Its a choice of responsibility towards the environment, a commitment towards future generations and the planet we will leave them.

Novaia is a member of Terra Viva Verona association, through which it promotes sustainable farming knowledge and practices. Through the Terra Viva Verona association Novaia seeks to make its new neighbours aware of a responsible use of treatments, not just in order to limit drifting towards its own vineyards, but mostly to improve the quality of the environment.
