Variety Denomination Year Nero d’Avola Merlot D.O.C. Sicilia 2013 Harvest
Two different grapes, two different moments of the same harvest.
Nero d’Avola is harvested on the second week of September when the temperature starts to get colder, while Merlot is harvested on the second week of August, when strong summer sunrays kiss the shore.
A very well structured and intense red wine, soft yet enveloping. Nero d’Avola and Merlot complement each other perfectly.
Ruby red with purple reflections, this wine has a rich aromatic flavors that vary from berry fruits and currant, to cherry and sweet spices.
Fruity notes and tannins give this wine a full body, a pleasant acidity and a good intensity.
You can taste the young tannins, which make this a complete and long lasting wine that is yet easy to drink.
It is the perfect mix between international grapes with local Mediterranean ones.
It’s ideal to pair up this wine with both white and red meat, game and lightly aged cheeses.
It’s very good with meat and vegetable based main courses as well.
Should be served in medium glasses, can be opened on the spot or a few hours earlier.
Ideal serving temperature is 16 – 18°C, but could be served fresh as well during summer time if desired.
