Description

The Rosso Rosso Passomaggio of Abbazia Santa Anastasia comes from vineyards located in the municipality of Castelbuono, in the province of Palermo.

It is produced 70% with Nero d'Avola grapes and 30% with Merlot grapes, harvested by hand towards the end of September. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 24-28 ° C for 10/13 days with maceration on the skins. Subsequently the wine ages in barriques for about 12 months, before being bottled.

The Passomaggio is characterized by an intense and deep ruby red color. The nose opens with elegant hints of cherries, enriched with pleasant spicy notes of tobacco, pepper and vanilla. On the palate it is pleasantly soft, with a persistent finish that slightly recalls the morello cherry.

Perfect to accompany red meats and first courses, it is ideal in combination with aged cheeses.
