Rosé di Neré IGP 2021
Trade Tools
Italy / Sicily
Nero d’Avola vines are 25-30 years old, planted with a southern exposure at 80 meters above sea level. Yields are 6.6 tons/acre, to encourage aromatic depth and flavor complexity. In the spring, the vines are pruned to one bud per plant, and in June/July, a green harvest eliminates lesser grapes. Twenty days prior to harvest, there's an additional cluster thinning, or a selection of the best grapes in the bunch. To develop superior aromas and texture, the wine is aged in steel tanks rather than oak to retain the grape's fresh, crisp and fruity characters.
Harvest Note
The winter was mild and rainier than usual. An early spring kicked off the 2021 wine season in Sicily, with the development of harmonious and balanced vegetation. Immediately after flowering, temperatures had risen rapidly since the month of June, regulated by constant winds that cool the vineyards and by significant temperature variations. The harvest began at the end of August without particular ripening advances. The grapes, the highest expression of quality, represent an excellent expression of variety and territory.
Tasting Note
Rosè di Nere' is an elegant wine characterised by its pale rosé colour and subtle peach highlights. Intense, with immediate freshness and a bouquet of ripe, elegant fruit. In the mouth, the wine is enveloping and well-rounded with citrus notes of pink grapefruit. Very long and beautiful finish.
