2006 Sedara Sicilia IGT

Sicilian sunshine in a bottle. The delicious ripeness of Nero d’Avola comes through on both the bouquet and the palate; wonderful berry fruit and damsons.

Tasting Notes
The ruby-red colour is rounded out by lively garnet reflections. The impact on the nose is intense with sensations of tobacco, spices and mineral notes. In the mouth, the wine is balanced with fruity flavours, mainly blackberries and cherries. Persistent finish.

Matching
Combine with starters with meat sauces, elaborate baked pasta dishes and red meats.

Winemaking Notes
100% Nero d’Avola.
After an 8-day maceration, a 3-day fermentation between 26 and 30C takes place. After fermentation the wines are kept on their skins for between 4 to 5 days. Malolactic fermentation is also completed. Part of the wine is fermented to provide fruitiness and part for body and structure.
After fermentation, 45% of the wine is aged for a period of 6-8 months in small oak barrels before blending with wine aged in cement vats and then has 3-4 months in bottle before release.
