The vineyards for this red Canapi Nero d'Avola are located in the Riesi region, between Ragusa and Agrgento. Here, the Nero d'Avola grapes grow under the best conditions. Plenty of sunshine contributes to the wine's fruitiness, but fortunately, the sea breeze slows ripening. Otherwise, the grapes would simply ripen too quickly. After a calm and balanced growing season, the grapes are harvested partially by hand in the early morning. The chance of oxidation is lowest in the morning, and the grapes retain their freshness.
As soon as the bottle is opened, we smell the Sicilian sun, bursting with red and black fruit. This delightful aroma is enhanced upon pouring, revealing a dark red color. Swirl the wine vigorously in a large glass, and we'll encounter notes of blackberry, cherry, and currant, complemented by a touch of chocolate and sweet spices. The finish is soft, yet very smooth, with abundant fruity notes.
