This delightful wine is fruit-driven, with aromas of cherries, pomegranate and wild berries with hints of cocoa, leather and caramel. The palate is elegant and complex with concentrated flavours and ripe but firm tannins.

The two grape varieties are vinified separately, in different ways, but both according to tradition. The Nero d’Avola is fermented in open top barriques, enabling us to follow a really scrupulous process. We carry out follatura (immersion of the skins) by hand and extremely delicately. The Frappato, on the other hand, is fermented in 7hl terracotta amphorae. Terracotta is an amazing material and has been used since ancient Greek times. Its natural porosity allows the ideal oxygen exchange during the fermentation process. At the same time it also allows the wine to remain in contact with the skins for an extended period of up to 12 months. The wines are blended together and are aged for six months in barriques and botti of various sizes. The wine remains in bottle for at least 3 months before being introduced to the market.
