Description

Caruso e Minini Nero d’Avola 

Area: Sicily/ Sicilia

Vinification: Carefully picked up by hand. Maceration and fermentation of the destemmed grapes in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature of 25°C for 15-20 days. Malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks.

Ageing: 30% in barrique of 225 litres for 4 months. The rest in stainless steel tanks for 8 months.

Winemaker’s Note: Only one third of the wine is aged in barrique for 4 months, just the needed time to build some structure without compromising the freshness. The wine strikes with its density and its royal ruby color. In one’s nose is rich of scents, deep and pure. Mature red fruits merged with herbs and ripe cherry. Expresses excellent varietal character, featuring smooth, velvety tannins and incredibly harmonious balance.

Food Matching: Impossible not to imagine a glass of Terre di Giumara Nero d’Avola when eating tomato sauce-based pasta. Try it with roasted red meat or game.
