Sicilia DOC Nero d'Avola - Saia - Feudo Maccari

A red wine from Feudo Maccari in the Noto area of Sicily, made exclusively from Nero d'Avola. The grapes undergo prolonged maceration to extract colour and aromatic complexity. Maturation takes place in French oak barriques for about 14 months, followed by a further 6 months in bottle before release. The wine is deep ruby red. Its bouquet recalls blackberry, black cherry and spicy notes of vanilla and black pepper. On the palate it is full and enveloping, with soft tannins and lively freshness. Mature fruit combines with chocolate and tobacco notes, leading to a long, persistent finish. It suits rich dishes such as meat roasts, game and aged cheeses.
