This wine is simply superb; it's rich with deep aromas and flavours, perfect for teaming with pasta dishes, or white meats or for simply enjoying alone. It has won multiple awards and it's not hard to see why. With beautiful rich flavours of cherry, redcurrant and cranberry along with scents of black pepper, cedar and leather, this wine really stands out!
I was fascinated to read the extensive notes on the site about how this wine was made. I learnt that it was produced by Salvatore Tamburello’s organic micro-winery in Sicily. The grape Nero d'Avola is grown across Sicily and Salvatore removes half the grapes from his vines to enable the remaining grapes to receive a more concentrated flavour and more nutrients. He keeps any intervention of the grapes in the cellar to an absolute minimum, allowing for cold maceration at 18°C ; this is lower than usual as red wines usually ferment at 22-30 °C. It is aged and developed for 20 months in stainless steel tanks with a small percentage being aged in oak barriques, which gives the wine a delicate oak finish.
