Tasting Notes

This distinctive wine from Sicily embodies traditional Italian winemaking heritage. Its 13.5% alcohol content supports a rounded, well-integrated style. 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 faced to South and South-East in the Butera area, near to Caltanisetta. Vinification: destemming, cold maceration for 2 days at 7°C, alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in steel tanks. The wine is aged 5 months on the lees in steel tanks. A wine capturing Sicily's sun-soaked character and ancient viticultural roots.
