Intense, fresh and unique, as much in aroma as in drink: this is Sicily's Nero d'Avola "Terre del Sommacco", produced by the winery Mandrarossa. After the harvest, fermentation takes place in concrete "tulip" barrels, where the wine rests for eight months, before being aged for another 19 months in non-toasted French oak barrel grades. The result is a red wine with character, rich in juicy ripe fruit, then shot through with a very pleasant freshness. It is a truly excellent Nero d'Avola.
Tasting Notes.: Ruby red is the color at the glass. The nose is profoundly fruity, marked by ripe cherry and blackberry notes, with floral hints of violets as an accompaniment. The same fruit from the nose returns during drinking, for a soft, delicately tannic sip, pleasantly fresh on the finish.
Pairings: Ideal to accompany meat dishes, it is excellent with roast suckling pig.
