Grape: Nero D'Avola, Sicillia DOC, Sicilia, Italy
Lovely aromas of baked strawberries, crushed cherries,
black tea and roses. Full-bodied with powdery tannins that coat the mouth. Nuanced and light-footed with subtle concentration that allows for a generous finish. Very nicely balanced and articulate. Delicious.
The grapes were left in pre-fermentative maceration for
2 days and, once alcoholic fermentation
with only indigenous yeast was complete, post-fermentation maceration
was carried out for approximately 2 months including spontaneous malolactic fermentation. Once racked,
the wine remained on the fine lees with continuous
batonnage until June, after which it was put on clean
lees and bottled in September 2021 and has remained in the bottle to this day. Fermentation in 25
hectolitres cement vats. At increasingly longer intervals, on the day of the descending moon of the flowers, a remuage for each individual bottle was performed.
