Grapes used
100% Nero d’Avola
Production method
The grapes are hand-harvested in the first half of September, when the tannins reach perfect phenolic ripeness. After destemming and crushing, the must undergoes a short pre-fermentative cold maceration to extract the freshest and fruitiest aromas. Alcoholic fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts and lasts about 6 days, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine then ages on fine lees in stainless steel tanks for 3 months and subsequently in neutral Slavonian oak barrels for another 3 months.
Alcohol content
13.5% vol.
Tasting notes
Color: Bright ruby red with intense violet hues.
Nose: Aromas of ripe red fruits, particularly blackberries and raspberries, enhanced by marine notes and light spices.
Palate: Fresh and full, with soft, velvety tannins that give the wine a vibrant and Mediterranean personality.
Possible pairings
Perfect with appetizers of cured meats and cheeses, dishes based on blue fish such as anchovies, tuna, and mackerel “Eolian style,” or traditional Sicilian dishes like pasta alla Norma. It also pairs well with pizzas topped with flavorful ingredients like broccoli, pork sausage, anchovies, onions, and pecorino cheese.
