Wine list | Nero d'Avola |
A red wine of the Sicilian tradition that boasts the D.O.C. Sicily. The vines used for its vinification are 100% pure Nero d'Avola grown within the company. Their origin lies in the Trapani countryside in the Borgo Guarini estate. The harvest takes place manually from the first to the last ten days of September, depending on the Crü. For the vinification the traditional red method is followed in thermo-controlled stainless steel tanks. It takes 12 months to refine the wine, during which the wine remains in French and American oak barrels.
