Nero D'Avola Riserva
Vineyard: Located at 450 metres above sea level in the rolling hills of central Sicily, in the Caltanissetta countryside, cultivated using organic methods.
Soil: A 0.50-hectare cru, where grapes are carefully selected and hand-harvested.
Grapes: Nero d’Avola DOC Sicilia.
Yield: 0.5 kg per plant.
Harvest Period: Mid-October.
Vinification: After a long maceration and fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel fermenters, the wine is aged for 18 months in 25 hl oak barrels and 12 months in the bottle before being released on the market.
Appearance:
Intense ruby red color.
Aroma:
Varietal notes of fresh fruit, currant, and black cherry blend seamlessly with hints of dark chocolate, leather, and black pepper.
Taste:
Fresh and dynamic on the palate, with velvety and silky tannins. The long, persistent, and smooth finish is the result of meticulous in-house selection.
This reserve originates from a cru vineyard planted 20 years ago. We carefully selected the grapes and limited production to just 500 grams per plant. For the 2014 vintage, only 794 bottles were produced, each individually numbered and signed by our father. He was the one who envisioned this vineyard, and we have decided to dedicate our most important wine to him.
