Sicilia Nero d'Avola DOC 2021 Li Ciuri

A riot of colours that are enhanced in a colourful mosaic, "Li Ciuri", the flowers, in the Sicilian dialect, represents a tribute to the terroir of origin, both in the label that recalls the majolica of Caltagirone, and in the name, which weaves an authentic link with Sicily.

Nero d'Avola Li Ciuri is a wine that originates in Western Sicily, in the immediate vicinity of Trapani. The harvest of its grapes is strictly manual and is carried out in the first ten days of September. The grapes, arrived in the cellar, are subjected to the destemming process and, subsequently, gently pressed. This is followed by maceration at a controlled temperature and ageing, lasting 3 months, in the bottle.

Its intense ruby red colour shines in the glass, with reflections tending to purple. On the nose it expresses subtle hints of wild blackberries, cherries, currants and blueberries, which blend admirably with its peppery notes and cloves. On the palate it is wide, soft, velvety and closes in a finish of pleasant persistence.

It is the ideal wine to accompany meat-based main courses and aged cheeses.
