Il Meridione Nero d'Avola

8010471003013

Versatile and supple, ideal with meat or tomato sauce based pasta dishes or grilled red meats.

A richly-flavored, spicy red with aromas of plum and black cherry. The ripe palate combines generous bramble fruit flavors with savory, lightly smoky characters, a hint of bitter chocolate and a nip of tannins on the finish.

Grapes are sourced from southern Sicily, around Riesi ? Nero d'Avola's traditional heartland. Traditional fermentation is between 79oF to 86oF (26oC to 30oC) and between five to ten days maceration. This wine is bottled young with no oak aging.
