Final refinement in the bottle ALCOHOL: 14.5% vol DESCRIPTION: The Terre della Baronia is a unique terroir with its 9 areas and related sub-areas. The portions of the vineyard in the Munti area where these clonal selections of Nero d'Avola were planted were chosen precisely because they are richer in organic substance and structure, thanks to the clayey profile the expression of the territory is enhanced, giving a particular gustatory richness and olfactory. WORK IN THE CELLAR The oenological approach is marked by the enhancement of agronomic work, which is characterized in particular by an accurate green management and thinning of the bunches. Great attention to maceration times and temperatures. Careful selection of woods to elegantly bring out the sensory profile so peculiar to our Nero d'Avola. SENSORY NOTES It has an impenetrable red colour. The nose is rich with sweet hints reminiscent of mulberry and black cherry. Sweet spices reminiscent of licorice, incense and cocoa bean. On the palate it is structured with a vigorous but at the same time elegant and fragrant character, with excellent persistence.
