KERASOS organic Italian red wine 0.75 l - Valdibella

Nero d'Avola / Sicilia DOC / organic farming / ICEA certification

It is no coincidence that we have called it that, cherry, from the Greek: κερασος - Kerasos. Its aroma of cherry and red fruits is unmistakable. This is the characteristic that distinguishes the Nero D'Avola of our area. We believe that this depends on the conditions of our territory, clayey limestone soils, high hills with ventilation and strong thermal excursions. All this gives us a wine that combines the body and structure with great elegance with hints of fruit and never aggressive tannins.

The grapes come from vineyards in the countryside of Camporeale between 250 and 350 meters above sea level. The grapes - with synergy between different vines - are harvested by hand and transported to the cellar in small baskets. Subsequently, the naturally fermented must prepared in the previous days with grapes from the same vineyard are de-stemmed and added. Fermentation proceeds for about 10 days at a temperature of 24 ° C. At the end the marcs are separated and pressed. After malolactic fermentation, which also occurs spontaneously, the wine ages for the winter and the following spring in steel before bottling.
