Terre Siciliane IGP Serramarrocco 2019 Barone di Serramarrocco

Serramarocco di Barone di Serramarocco is a red wine that comes from the "Vigna del Capitano" and "Vigna Sammichele" vineyards, both located along the Erice wine road. The origins of the Barone di Serramarrocco estate are very ancient. In the 17th century King Philip IV of Spain and Sicily gave Antonio Marrocco y Orioles an agrarian fief in the area of Erice and Trapani, which still forms the heart of the property today. The estate covers about sixty hectares of which 22 are intended for vineyards, which are located at about 300 meters above sea level, in a sunny hilly area a step away from the sea. The good temperature ranges and constant ventilation favour slow ripening with particularly rich aromatic profiles.

The wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, which are vinified at 26-28 °C for 20–24 days in steel tanks. Both fermentations take place in concrete vats, while the aging takes place in Allier oak tonneaux for 12 months. Finally, the wine is aged for 8 months in the bottle before being placed on the market.

Intense ruby red colour with purple hues, on the nose there are hints of rose, cherry, spices, with vegetal notes. The sip is powerful and elegant, with silky tannins and a long finish.

Ideal in combination with main courses of red meats and game with important cooking.
