Intense ruby red color with purple highlights. Delightful aromas of red fruits and spices. Black cherries, strawberries, and blackberries accompanied by soft sweet spices and a hint of pepper. Lush and ripe fruit is supported by a tight and beautifully balanced structure. Medium body and pleasant character. Long and sunny finish.

Grilled or roasted red meats, southern stews, lamb, and medium-aged cheeses.

climate

The climate is typical of central Sicily, hot and dry, especially during the growing season. The altitude allows for significant cooling at night and in winter, which enhances the ripening of the grapes. This benefits both the aromas and the structure of the wine.

soil

Vineyard in Caltanissetta at an altitude of 580 meters. Soil with limestone and clay.

vinification

100% Nero d’Avola, named Nero d’Altura (altitude) due to the vineyards being located 600 meters above sea level. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for 8 to 10 days at 26 to 28°C. The wine is then stored in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 15 to 18°C. It is aged for 12 months in wooden barrels.
