Tasting Notes

This exceptional Sicilia DOC showcases the authentic character of Sicily. With 13.5% alcohol, it strikes a confident balance between body and freshness. Crafted from Nero d'Avola 100%, this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. Expect layered dark fruit aromas, firm tannins and a long, satisfying finish. The fruit is sourced from vineyards on the gentle hills of Alcamo at 300-400 meters above sea level. Vinification: alcoholic fermentation in steel tanks. The wine is aged some months in steel tanks. A wine reflecting the mineral intensity of Sicily's volcanic soils.
