Tasting Notes

A fine example of Sicily winemaking, this Sicilia DOC reflects generations of local expertise. At 12.5% alcohol, it presents a well-balanced and harmonious profile. Crafted from Nero d’Avola 100%, this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. The palate shows depth and structure, with a finish that lingers pleasantly. The fruit is sourced from vineyards on soils at 500 m a.s.l. of medium consistency tending to limestone. Vinification: alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel at controlled temperature. The wine is aged a few months in steel tanks and then in the bottle. A wine capturing Sicily's sun-soaked character and ancient viticultural roots.
