Producer
Novaripa, officially Cantina Ripa Teatina, was founded as a cooperative in 1969 to bring together local growers around Ripa Teatina in Abruzzo. The winery has grown into a regional brand known for Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and white varieties like Pecorino, while developing named lines such as Spyro and Monatic that reflect local history and terroir. Novaripa operates its main cellar and offices in the Tiboni area of Ripa Teatina and has won national and international awards for its reserve wines. The cooperative structure keeps production closely tied to member vineyards, and the estate emphasizes traditional varieties with a modern marketing approach centered on value and regional identity.
