New Art in Latin, very applicable to the philosophy of this wine. Ars Nova was a musical movement in the 14th Century which brought about the advent of volume in music. Until that time music was flat and monochrome. This new way of creating music was more complex, marked by harmony and rhythm. This was the origin of polyphony. Music which was composed from then onwards was called ars nova and music prior to that time was termed ars antiqua. It has been compared with the introduction of perspective in painting which occurred during the same period. Ars Nova is an elegant wine, feminine, multi-layered, a wine for reflection and enjoyment.
