WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Grown in the 5 organic hectares championed by Giovanna Caruso, these grapes are hand harvested and destemmed before undergoing maceration and fermentation in stainless steel for 15-20 days. Malolactic fermentation is then carried out in stainless steel tanks before the wine is aged 50% in barrels and 50% in stainless steel tanks for two months. Fruity and vibrant, this Nero dAvola has soft, medium tannins and a harmonic finish, showing boysenberry, vanilla, and blackberry notes. Pair with grilled meats and aged cheeses.
TASTING NOTES:
Lovely aromas of sliced grapefruit, white peach and fresh flowers. Medium-bodied with subtle mineral and saline character coloring the tangy fruit. Bright.
