Nuhar by Rapitalà is the result of a careful wine making joined to tradition and innovation. It is a blend of Pinot Noir and Nero d’Avola and praises the DOP denomination. The grapes are cultivated on the mountain located uin the centre of the territories owned by Rapitalà family. Here flows the river “Rabdh-Allah”. The name “Nuhar” means “flower” in Arabic. The plants are cultivated on lands touched by sun and wind, where the soils are characterized by clay. Two great varieties compose this fabulous blend: Pinot Noir, the king of Bourgogne and Nero d’ Avola, a local grape that grows in Sicily. Their particular features contribute to produce a fabulous product.
