WINE DESCRIPTION
The winery's approach prioritizes the preservation of the wine's character during the entire transformation process. This commitment leads to the use of spontaneous fermentation without the introduction of selected yeasts into the must. Additionally, wooden wine barrels are avoided during the wine's aging process to prevent any alteration of its taste, as the focus is on maintaining the variety and the territory it represents. The sole intervention consists of adding a minimal amount of sulfur dioxide during the bottling process to ensure improved preservation.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Sicilian red wine hailing from the Noto region is a true gem.A blend of Frappato and Nero d'Avola grapes, it boasts a harmoniously integrated alcohol content. On the nose, we get strawberry licorice and jammy fruit. The palate is mouth-filling with soft tannins and a long-lasting finish with a herbal touch. Enjoy with cheeses or different types of pastas.
