This Menfi DOC captures the distinctive personality of Sicily terroir. 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. Expect layered dark fruit aromas, firm tannins and a long, satisfying finish. The fruit is sourced from vineyards from Belicello estate, in a clayey soil near to the sea, faced to East and West. Organic farming. Vinification: destemming, soft pressing, alcoholic fermentation on the skins in steel tanks with indigenous yeasts for 12 days, with malolactic fermentation completed. The wine is aged 6-8 months in steel tanks and, for a minumum percentage, in big Slavonian oak barrels. A wine showing the island's unique volcanic terroir and Mediterranean influence.
Volcanic soils around Mount Etna impart a distinctive mineral character found across many Sicilian wines.
