Over the years, Feudo Arancio has received numerous international wine awards, but the Nero d'Avola in particular. He won gold medals at the Berliner Wein Trophy and Mundus Vini, among others. We find this not surprising, considering the full-bodied and powerful wine, where the grapes are clearly distinguishable. The vineyards for this Nero d'Avola are located in the province of Sambuca di Sicilia, in the province of Agrigento, where rich, mature, and structured Nero d'Avola is produced. Here, the grapes thrive, thanks in part to the sunshine and the natural cooling breeze. The soil, composed primarily of clay, provides the bunches with everything they need.
After the harvest, which always begins very early in the morning, the Nero d'Avola bunches at Feudo Arancio are rigorously sorted. Only the finest are used in this red wine, guaranteeing its purity. After pressing, this red wine is aged for a full six months in French barrels. This important period allows it to acquire the finest nuances from the oak barrels. The result is also noticeable in the aroma, which offers impressions of berries, wild strawberries, and pomegranate, along with spices and vanilla. On the palate, this Feudo Arancio Nero d'Avola is velvety with a rich, black fruit attack. On the palate, some herbs and spices, along with a touch of cassis fruit, are present. The finish is warm and very smooth, making it a very enjoyable drink.
