Nero d'Avola
Sicilia DOC
The vineyards are situated on the rolling hills of the Riesi area, between Ragusa and Agrigento, on the northern Gela plain in Sicily.
100% Nero d’Avola
The grapes are meticulously hand-harvested in the second half of September through early October, ensuring optimal ripeness and varietal expression.
The grapes are very carefully destemmed and softly pressed. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures not exceeding 28°C, with carefully monitored maceration to optimize colour extraction and tannin softness. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation to achieve balance and harmony. The aging process takes place exclusively in stainless steel for 6-12 months.
Bright ruby red, with elegant violet hues. The aroma is rich and expressive, with floral hints and enticing notes of ripe red berries, particularly cherries, complemented by subtle undertones of Mediterranean herbs. The palate is smooth and well-structured with a lovely balance, featuring soft tannins and a lively acidity resulting in freshness and drinkability. The finish is long and pleasantly persistent.
