About The Producer

About The Wine

Nero d'Avola is trained at an average of 5000 vines per hectare, and after a September harvest are vinified in stainless steal tanks with a maceration of the skins lasting 8 days. After Malo-lactic fermentation the win fines for about 2 months in tanks and then 3 months in bottle.

Tasting Notes

A concentrated ruby red colour with glints of violet. The nose opens into an array of sensations which flit between fruity, balsamic and mineral tones, among which hints of currents, sour cherries and blackberries stand out, followed by a sweet hint of cocoa. A full-bodied wine, which floods the palate with a gentle and persuasive structure. Soft tannins give a nice finishing balance to the wine.
