Nero d'Avola
IGP Terre Siciliane
Intense ruby coloured wine with notes of cherries, plums spices and vanilla. Smooth and round on the palate it has a nice juicy finish.
Nero d’Avola grapes grow in Central Sicily in the Caltanissetta district at approx 500m a s.l.. Medium texture limestone and clay soil and a perfect temperature range, ensure great conditions during all the ripening phases. Vines are planted facing South using the trellis system, guyot pruning.
An average year with not too much rain in winter, a cool spring and a relatively mild summer ensured a good development of the different phenological phases.
Hand-picked on September 15th, de-stemming and skin maceration for 12 days, before fermentation takes place at 24°C in stainless-steel tanks during 15 days. Part of the wine is aged for at least 6 months in used Oak barrels of 250 liters.
