Classification: Sicilia DOC
Grape variety: 100% Nero d'Avola
Tasting Notes:
A deep wisteria color throughout, with dominant aromas of ripe plum and blackberry, pleasantly complex with hints of incense, jasmine, and black truffle. The tannins are soft and sweet, captivating like a Sacher Torte. However, there is also a darker, more direct austerity, like Modica chocolate from Sicily. This 100% Nero d'Avola wine, made from grapes grown in old vineyards near Lake Arancio, showcases the soft and fruity style of Nero d'Avola, Sicily's great grape variety. With rounded tannins and a moderate oak aging, this wine is very approachable and ready to enjoy.
Production Method: After harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and gently crushed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with stirring at a controlled temperature of 25°C for 14 days. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is transferred to old barrels in January to soften the tannins and aged for 8 months until September. It is then bottle-aged for 6 months.
Pairing: Grilled meat dishes such as lamb, and Mediterranean cuisine in general
