Novum Cellars Carignan Mendocino 2025

Profile & Story

Novum Cellars was founded in Mendocino County by a winemaker with 15 years in the wine industry who wanted to bring wine back to its roots — authentic, expressive, and deeply connected to place. The name Novum, Latin for "new," reflects the brand's commitment to organic and regenerative farming, honest winemaking, and shining a light on overlooked regions like Mendocino. This Ancient Vine Carignan comes from the historic Tollini Vineyard, a head-trained, dry-farmed site whose original mother vines were established in the mid-1940s, reflecting Novum's commitment to heritage farming and expressive, site-driven wines.
