Fermented in stainless steel tanks, this is the ultimate in pure 100% nero d'avola. This red shows wild rustic aromas of leather and spice, and yet it remains elegant through the long, supple finish with notes of crushed pepper, anise earth and red meat combining harmoniously with baked red fruits.
