WINE DESCRIPTION

Conti Zecca Nero is a premium red wine produced by the Italian winery, Conti Zecca. This wine is made from carefully selected grapes, primarily Negroamaro and some Cabernet Sauvignon, grown in the Salento region of Puglia, Italy. The vineyards are located in a unique terroir that benefits from the warm Mediterranean climate and the cooling sea breezes, resulting in ripeness but never overripeness. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques that aim to preserve the natural flavors and aromas of the grapes including a relatively cool fermentation. Follow by more than 2 years of aging in barrels to soften the tannins for a softer mouthfeel. The resulting wine is a full-bodied and complex red with a deep ruby color and intense aromas of dark fruit, spices, and tobacco. Conti Zecca Nero is a perfect choice for wine enthusiasts who enjoy sun-drenched styles of wine.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Conti Zecca Nero d'Avola is a robust, full-bodied red with aromas of dark cherry, smoke, and prune.On the palate, the dense texture and full body are balanced by velvety tannins and fresh acidity. The finish is long with subtle baking spice complexity. Enjoy this wine with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.
