Nero d’Avola
Giuseppina, Milici and Munti. Plateau of marl origin with high clay component strongly calcareous. North side on a gentle slope, deep organic soil
guyot and spur cordon pruning
mid October
grapes selection on the plant, manual harvesting in small crates of 14 kg
the bunches were gently destemmed with final selection of the berries. The grapes were then trasferred in horizontal roto-fermenters for 15 days, in order to complete the alcoholic fermentation. The malolactic fermentation was completed in oak barriques
for 18 months aproximately partly in barriques of different oaks and partly in stainless steel vats. Final maturation in the bottle
14% by Volume
Maria Costanza Rosso is the most intense expression of our way of interpreting the most well known Sicilian varietal, Nero D’Avola.
THE VINE’S SELECTION
Along the years a significant share of the oldest vineyards was maintained introducing at the same time new vines, with an everage age of ten years. The roughness of the chalky soil is mitigated by the contribution of the vines located in areas richer in organic matter and structure, well suited to adapt to the gradual climate change, as a consequence of the global warming.
WINEMAKING
The oenologists’ work is characterized by a rigorous method. Accuracy in the control of the temperatures, timing of the fermentation and maceration; a careful selection of the woods and the use of innovative stainless steel vat’s technology.
SENSORY PROFILE
Intense red color with purple reflections. To the nose evident floral and fruity hints attributable to black cherry, it finishes with spicy and aromatic vegetables such as nettle and fig leaf. In the mouth it is soft, elegant and velvety with an exceptional persistence.
