Grapes: 100% Nero d'Avola Soil: Medium mixture Breeding System: Backrest Vinification: The grapes are harvested by hand. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature (22-25°C) for approximately 10 days. During this process, daily punching-down and 2/3 delestage are carried out until the sugars have broken down. After fermentation, the wine remains in contact with the marc for a further 4 days. After racking, malolactic fermentation takes place. After this phase, the wine is transferred to oak tonneaux for 6 months. Alcoholic strength: 14% Oenologist: Vito Giovinco Olfactory scent: The colour is a luminous ruby red, with purple hues.

The sip is full, enveloping and balanced. The tannin is dense and long lasting. Combinations: Excellent with grilled meats, roasts and mature cheeses. It also goes very well with structured fish dishes. Serve at 18 °C.
