VINIFICATION
Harvested in September, the grapes are vinified in stainless steel at 26-30°C (79-86°F) and with grape skin contact of about 12 days. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is placed in mostly new French-oak barriques for 15-18 months. Bottle fining of at least 12 months.

DESCRIPTION
A noble version of Nero d'Avola with a dense ruby-red color. The enthralling bouquet calls attention to mature and sweet but not cooked scents and balsamic and floral notes of violets with a light trace of tobacco at the close. A wine with a big structure and a remarkable personality.
