VINIFICATION: The grapes are selected by hand then destemmed and were then transferred to vertical winemakers where the must was subjected to periodic pumping over. A long maceration on the skins until the complete lowering of the pomace. The malolactic fermentation was carried out in oak barriques for the Nero d’Avola, while large barrels were used for the Nero Cappuccio

SENSORY NOTES: Splendid dark ruby red colour. Intense, rich in tertiary aromas but composed and well preserved, with clear spicy notes. The taste is warm, full with tannins rightly smoothed by time. Of great persistence, it makes it suitable for the most special moments, “a meditation wine”.
