It stands out for its \u003cstrong\u003emedium body\u003c\/strong\u003e and a balance played on softness and freshness. On the nose, it reveals hints of raspberry, cherry and plum, enriched by \u003cstrong\u003enotes of black pepper\u003c\/strong\u003e and light balsamic nuances. The palate is agile and dynamic, characterised by clear fruit and a \u003cstrong\u003ecaressing tannin\u003c\/strong\u003e perfectly integrated. The finish is clean and fragrant, offering a harmonious profile and an extremely satisfying drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the Contessa Entellina Estate, in the heart of south-western Sicily. The vineyards stretch over \u003cstrong\u003eloam-clay\u003c\/strong\u003e hillsides situated between 200 and 600 metres above sea level, rich in limestone and mineral components. The \u003cstrong\u003eMediterranean climate\u003c\/strong\u003e is characterised by rainy winters and dry, breezy summers. The marked temperature variations between day and night are fundamental for the ripening of Nero d’Avola, as they preserve its natural freshness. This unique environment ensures a precise \u003cstrong\u003evarietal definition\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving the wine a balanced structure and gentle tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe harvest takes place between the end of August and the beginning of September. \u003cstrong\u003eFermentation in stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e occurs at controlled temperatures, with a maceration on the skins of about a week aimed at delicately extracting colour and aromatic components. After malolactic fermentation, the wine matures for four months in tank, followed by a further period of ageing. The choice to avoid \u003cstrong\u003ewood ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e is deliberate to preserve the purity of the original Nero d’Avola fruit. This production process allows for a \u003cstrong\u003esoft and vibrant texture\u003c\/strong\u003e, maintaining the aromatic integrity and freshness of the grape variety.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSigned by Donnafugata, this brilliant \u003cstrong\u003eNero d’Avola Sicilia DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e interprets and expresses all the warmth of the island.
