Nero d’Avola di Sicilia – Indicazione Geografica Tipica 

Geographic Area

North-western Sicily, in Southern Italy.

Soil Low, rocky hills of limestone and clay.

Winemaking

Red vinification, with thinning of the grapes and maceration on the skins at controlled temperature. Pressing is carried out with the aid of pneumatic presses, that delicately compress the head of the skins, avoiding the discharge of bitter tannins while promoting that of the anthocyianins, so to provide a deeper colour. Once alcoholic fermentation is over, the wine spontaneously carries out malolactic fermentation. After natural clarification, the wine is fined in steel tanks.

Tasting Notes
Fragrant blueberry, red cherry, and a hint of floral perfume open up to reveal fresh plum with layered sweet and savoury spices. The complex fruit flavours follow on the palate with fine but grippy tannins and a fresh fruity acidity. Typical spiciness is layered and complex - cardamom, fennel, black pepper, nutmeg and clove, with the delicate use of oak complimenting the spiciness. Refined yet powerful with a lingering fruity finish.
