Feudo Maccari Neré Nero d’Avola

Impressive example of Nero d’Avola, combining approachability with interest, depth and complexity

The Nero d’Avola vines grow around 80m above sea level on a south-facing site. They are all ‘albarello’ (head-trained) bush vines – which are particularly suited to hot and windy climates. The grapes undergo 15 days of maceration and fermentation with regular punching-down of the cap. The wine is matured in stainless steel

Aromas of warm, ripe dark fruits with black cherry, plum and tarry, smoky notes. The palate is generous and fruit-forward with wild cherry and damson notes combining with spicy, dried fruit characters. A well-structured wine with ripe tannins and fresh acidity, leading to an attractive bitter chocolate twist on the finish.
