This style is highly praised by lovers of dry and elegant wines.\n\n\n\n The grapes are typically harvested in late October, after which they undergo rigorous selection. They are gently pressed pneumatically for 2 to 3 hours. The juice from the last 30 minutes of pressing is set aside and sold in bulk. Fermentation begins in the following 3 to 4 days and lasts for 2 to 4 weeks. There is no secondary malolactic fermentation to preserve as much natural acidity as possible. The wine remains in barrels or stainless steel tanks until bottling, which begins in April and ends in September. A longer period of aging in the cellar, 5 to 7 years, is used for the finest Rieslings.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003eEnjoy a long-lasting aftertaste of the Trimbach Riesling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n Trimbach's reputation for purity is once again proven by this Riesling.

But the Organico-grown red wine made from the Nero d'Avola grape is more than just a treat. It all begins in the old vineyards of Vanita on the island of Sicily. The old, thick stems are deeply rooted, allowing them to easily absorb moisture from the rich soil. This makes them well-suited to the hot afternoons of Sicilian summers. The Nero d'Avola receives ample sunshine, and the ripening process is gradual. Fortunately, the wind from the sea blows over and through the vineyards, cooling and slowing the ripening process. Without the wind, the grapes would ripen too quickly and would be less able to develop powerful flavors and aromas. The latter, however, has been achieved: a red wine with both softness and power.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The harvest of Nero d'Avola\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nAfter a long maturation in the Sicilian sun, the Nero d'Avola grapes are harvested at perfect ripeness. This takes place early in the morning while the grapes are still dormant, preventing oxidation and damage during transport to Vanita. Once the grapes arrive, they undergo a rigorous selection on sorting tables. Only the finest bunches are used to make the Vanita Nero d'Avola Sicilia red bunch. After fermentation, half of the wine is aged in oak barrels, making it fuller and more powerful.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Full and very powerful this Vanita Nero d'Avola Sicilia\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nWow, wow, what a delicious, full-bodied, smooth wine from Italy!
