Terre Siciliane IGP Pignatello Sammarcello 2021 Barone di Serramarrocco

The Sammarcello by Barone di Serramarocco is a red wine made from Pignatello grapes, which is born in the "vineyard of Sammarcello", located along the Erice wine road. The origins of the Barone di Serramarrocco estate are very ancient. In the 17th century King Philip IV of Spain and Sicily gave Antonio Marrocco y Orioles an agrarian fief in the area of Erice and Trapani, which still forms the heart of the property today. The estate covers about sixty hectares of which 22 are intended for vineyards, which are located at about 300 meters above sea level, in a sunny hilly area a step away from the sea. The good temperature ranges and constant ventilation favour slow ripening with particularly rich aromatic profiles.

Pignatello grapes in purity are vinified at 22-24 °C for 12–15 days in steel tanks. Both fermentations take place in concrete, after which the wine is aged for 5 months in the bottle before being placed on the market.

Intense ruby red colour with purple hues, on the nose there are hints of violets, roses, berries, black cherry and licorice. The taste is fresh and balsamic, with silky tannins and a long finish.

Ideal in combination with main courses of red meats and game with important cooking.
