Vintages
A classic Nero d’Avola, like the bright Taormina red that characterizes it in the glass, a tale of a summer in Sicily made of wind and sun. On the palate the tannin is velvety and the organoleptic spherical, with a nose that brings to mind wild flowers with delicate scents.

Details
Vintage
On the whole, compared to previous years, this year was marked by moderate temperatures compared to average seasonal temperatures, with rain in autumn and winter. A cool spring and summer with very little rain allowed the grapes to ripen fully and properly.
Harvest
By hand when fully ripe, from 23 to 27 September.
Vinification and Ageing
The grapes are destemmed and gently pressed. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature (28°C). After racking, the wine obtained undergoes malolactic fermentation.
Maturation occurs since late 2013 in fine oak casks.
Ageing since April 2016, in the bottle at controlled temperature.
Tasting Notes & Pairings
Well-rounded organoleptic qualities and pastel hues. A story of summer, of velvety tannins, and of wild flowers caressed by the wind. The result of patient waiting and of a wise approach to winemaking. Rosso Taormina, a sophisticated balance between form and substance.
Excellent with red meats, medium-aged cheeses and tasty dishes.
Ideal as a meditation wine.
