Terre Siciliane IGP Nero d'Avola Nero di Serramarrocco 2018 Barone di Serramarrocco

The Nero di Serramarocco by Barone di Serramarocco is a red wine made from Nero d'Avola grape, born in the "Sakkara vineyard", 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.

The Nero d'Avola grapes in purity are vinified at 26-28 °C for 14–16 days in steel tanks. Both fermentations take place in concrete, while the aging takes place in Allier oak tonneaux for 8 months. Finally, the wine is aged for 6 months in the bottle before being placed on the market.

Intense ruby red colour with purple hues, on the nose there are hints of purple flowers, berries, black cherry and spices. 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.
