L'Auratae
Private Collection Nero D'Avola
Sicilia DOC
Provenance
The grapes are grown on the hills of the Trapani area, with the traditional Spalliera system
Grapes
100% Nero d'Avola
Harvest
Early October
Winemaking
The grapes are destemmed and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures not exceeding 28°C with frequent pumping over in the early stages in order to ensure optimum colour extraction and soft tannins. After fermentation, the wine is racked off and malolactic fermentation takes place.
Tasting notes
Sicily's number one red grape variety, Nero d'Avola is indigenous to the island. Our L'Auratae Nero d'Avola has a wonderful structure, yet has soft tannins and is very approachable.
Pairing
Packed with red berry fruit flavours, it is ideal with red meat and tomato based pasta sauces.
