Nero d'Avola, Molino a Vento, IGT Terre Siciliane

Charming, elegant red from Sicily, filled with red cherry and raspberry, with a fine minerality on the finish.

Vineyard: Grapes are grown in a vineyard situated across the hills of Gibellina, which lies between 100-300m above sea level. Soils here are calcareous, containing higher than average levels of organic matter and iron, which impart complexity and unique flavours to wine.
Vinification: Fermentation is conducted for 12-15 days at 24-30°C with daily pump-overs and racking. The wine is then aged in a combination of stainless steel tanks and French oak barriques for 2-4 months, before being bottled.

The perfect accompaniment to pasta dishes with meat sauces. A classic beef ragu will be an ideal pairing, but alternatively the fresh fruit of the wine will translate to alternative versions of the dish – try with duck for an interesting combination.
