The Nero d'Avola Sicilia Doc Passo delle Mule comes from the vineyard of the same name on the Suor Marchesa estate of Duca di Salaparuta, located in the municipality of Butera, on the Riesi axis, in the province of Caltanissetta. It is made from 100% Nero d'Avola grapes, hand-picked and selected between late September and early October. Fermentation takes place, with maceration, at a controlled temperature of 26-28° C. Afterwards, the wine ages in oak barrels for at least 8 months and in the bottle for the following 2 months.

Tasting Notes:

It has an intense red color. The nose opens with an enveloping aroma of sour cherry and raspberry, enriched with spicy notes of vanilla. On the palate it is broad and velvety, with austere but gentle tannins and good structure. It finishes with a pleasantly aromatic and persistent aftertaste.

Pairings:

This red wine is perfect for accompanying red meat dishes and well-aged cheeses.
