Pizzini Nero d'Avola 2024

This is a beautiful ruby coloured wine with a purple hue. Aromas of rose petal and violets combine with fresh cherry, spice and hints of raspberry. This wine is the epitome of drinkability. Your mouth fills with cherries and sweet herbs, as it opens up juicy blood plums, earthiness and grainy tannins take over, leaving good length and herbs on the back palate. Drink and enjoy, it goes well with something gamey.

The Nero d’Avola grapes were machined picked and crushed into an open top fermenter. The wine was fermented at a hot temperature of 28 degrees and hand plunged for soft extraction, to retain fresh fruit characters and reduce tannins. Once the wine finished fermentation, the free run juice was drained and the skins were lightly pressed. The wine was racked after six weeks and then transferred to barrels for malic acid fermentation. It spend 6 months in barrel before being blended, fined and bottled.
