“Lamoresca Rosso is crafted by blending two grape varieties, Nero d'Avola and Frappato, both typical of our region near the Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG area. It was our first wine and a perfect marriage of these varietals. Nero d'Avola contributes sharp tannins and a robust body, harmonized by the Frappato's easy, red cherry fruitiness. The blend evolves each year, influenced by the vintage, quality, and our preferences.” 60% Frappato, 35% Nero d’Avola with a small amount of Grenache. 30 days of maceration on the skins in vertical “tini”, the skin gets manually pressed down 2 times a day, without temperature control or added yeasts. Pressed and blended after fermentation in 25 year old truncated conical vat of Slavonian oak for aging. Racked at least three times before bottling.. Aged for 12 months. Minimal added sulfur and no filtering or fining. Its dark, sunkissed fruit and bitter herbs are framed by plush tannins, making it a wonderful companion for the rustic dishes of Sicily’s interior.
