‘Roceno’ Nero D’Avola D.O.C. 75cl (2023) SIBILIANA VINI

Sicilian Nero d’Avola is produced in many styles, from subtle to strong, simple to tasty – this wine by Sibiliana is extremely good overall. It is very apparent in the glass with a firm presence of aromas on the nose like blackcurrant, red fruit, spices, and lightly peppered. The soft round tannins keep it subtle with the right finesse. Highly recommended. Roceno Nero d'Avola embodies Sicilian craftsmanship, thriving in an altitude ranging from 200 to 400 meters above sea level on hilly terrain with clay-loam soils rich in essential nutrients. The 2023 vintage faced climatic challenges with spring and early summer extremes, leading to reduced grape yields but enhanced quality. Fermented in stainless steel tanks at 20-25°C, followed by three months of maturation in steel and an additional three months in the bottle, Roceno Nero d'Avola boasts a ruby red color with violet reflections. Aromas of cherry, blackcurrant, and hints of black pepper dominate the nose, while the palate offers refreshing acidity and balance. Ideal for immediate enjoyment, this wine pairs excellently with meats, fatty fish like tuna and swordfish, and vegetarian dishes. Serve at 15-16°C to experience its youthful vibrancy and versatility.
