Rosé di Neré IGP 2024
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
Harvest began early due to the high temperatures which accelerated the ripening of the grapes and the usual longevity. Despite low yields, this harvest promises to be historic in terms of quality, with peaks of excellence for Nero D'Avola: the 2024 Sicilian harvest is affected by the effects of climate change, first of all the low rainfall in recent months with a significant impact on the vineyards, which nevertheless confirm excellent quality also thanks to the absence of plant diseases - precisely in relation to the dry climate.
