Sicilia DOC Passo delle Mule 2022 Duca di Salaparuta

Nero d'Avola Sicilia Doc Passo delle Mule is born in the vineyard of the same name on the Suor Marchesa di Duca di Salaparuta estate, located in the municipality of Butera on the Riesi axis, in the province of Caltanissetta.

It is obtained from pure Nero d'Avola grapes, harvested and selected by hand between the end of September and the beginning of October. Fermentation takes place, with maceration, at a controlled temperature of 26-28° C. The wine is then refined in oak barrels for at least 8 months and in the bottle for the following 2 months.

It has an intense red color. It opens to the nose with an enveloping scent of morello cherry and raspberry, enriched by spicy notes of vanilla. On the palate it is broad and velvety, with austere but gentle tannins and good structure. It closes with a pleasantly aromatic and persistent finish.

This red wine is perfect to accompany red meat dishes and well-aged cheeses.
