Donnafugata's Sicilia Nero d'Avola Sherazade is born in the Contessa Entellina Estate, in the heart of southwestern Sicily.
It is produced with 100% Nero d'Avola grapes, harvested by hand in the first ten days of September. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel, with maceration on the skins for 6-8 days, at a controlled temperature of 24-25°C. After malolactic fermentation, the wine ages for 2 months in stainless steel and for a further 5 months in bottle before being released onto the market.
It has a brilliant ruby red color with purplish reflections. On the nose, it releases fragrant fruity hints of cherry and red plum, accompanied by spicy notes of black pepper. On the palate, it is full and fresh, with soft tannins and an extremely pleasant drinkability.
Excellent with fish soups, pizza, and spaghetti with tomato sauce.
