Luca Gardini
It is presented in a compact and luminous glass. On the nose, hints of blackcurrant and wild blackberry with hints of tobacco and licorice. Warm on the palate, the fruit is concentrated, but supported by dense tannins and a good freshness. Deep finish.

Description

Li Ciuri's Lu Meli wine is a 100% Nero d'Avola from slightly dried grapes. A riot of colours that are enhanced in a colourful mosaic, "Li Ciuri", the flowers, in the Sicilian dialect, represent 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.

The Nero d'Avola grapes are harvested and selected between in September, after having carried out a period of drying on the plants. The clusters are then transferred to a loft and suitably arranged in such a way that the natural climatic conditions lead to dehydration of the berries with subsequent concentration of sugars. The yield of the must is very low, a quarter of the original weight of the grapes. The bunches are subsequently de-stemmed and vinified. The fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, followed by the ageing of about 4 months in 500-liter tonneaux.

In the glass, the wine appears of a bright and intense purple colour. The nose releases pleasant hints of honey, accompanied by fruity notes such as plum, black cherry, currant, blueberry and blackberry. On the palate it is soft, warm, with a fragrant and persistent finish.

Excellent with grilled meats, stewed game and aged cheeses.
