Nero d'Avola "Colomba Platino" from the Sicilian winery Duca di Salaparuta is produced with 100% Nero d'Avola grapes, grown on soils of mixed limestone-siliceous composition located in the central southern part of the island. At the end of the manual harvest in the second half of September, the grapes ferment in steel on the skins with subsequent soft pressing. This wine comes from the union of wines that spend at least 10 months in oak wood; after bottling, the product remains for a month in the temperature-controlled cellar.
