Grape: Nero d'AvolaVintage: 2021Type: Red This artisanal red wine comes from the Passofonduto estate, a low-intervention project managed by Giuseppe Cipolla in the central valleys of Sicily. The fruit is hand-harvested from small plots grown on complex clay and chalky limestone soils that restrict vine yields. Spontaneous fermentation relies on native vineyard wild yeasts in neutral concrete tanks, avoiding modern temperature styling or additives. It undergoes a natural aging process on its fine lees before bottling unfiltered without sulfur adjustments. It displays a deep ruby color, opening with aromatics of wild pomegranate, sour cherry, and fresh Mediterranean scrubland. On the palate, the medium-bodied frame is juicy and structured, balancing crunchy berry fruit with a fine-grained tannin grip. Notes of ground pepper and woodsmoke add a savory depth across the fluid mouthfeel. A central beam of limestone acidity cuts right through the volume, keeping the palate refreshed. It finishes clean and dry, leaving a savory trace. Show more
