WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
The 2017 growing season began very cold, with frost extending well into spring followed by an extreme heatwave in the beginning of summer. The growing season did not begin to balance out until August, where two significant rainfalls brought much needed respite to the plants, lowering temperatures and allowing the grapes to photosynthesize in optimal conditions. September saw a drop in temperatures, with prolonged and sunny days, which encouraged the plants to divert all the necessary nutrients to the clusters in order to obtain a product of excellent quality from the aromatic and polyphenolic points of view. Harvest time brought a very balanced season with gorgeous weather that allowed the Nero d’Avola grapes to excel, producing a quality wine.
Intense, with immediate freshness and a bouquet of ripe, elegant fruit. In the mouth, the wine is well-rounded with citrus notes of pink grapefruit.
Outstanding with fish dishes enriched with Mediterranean spices and herbs. Intriguing with pizza.
