GorgoTondo Nero d'Avola Cabernet IGT di Sicilia
Winery information: The Duca di Castelmonte label is given to the still wines of the Carlo Pellegrino, the world-famous Sicilian Marsala producer. In the 1970’s the
company was the first to market a range of wines produced from native grape varietals and they have continued to seek the individualism and character of
the true wines of Sicily. This strategy is now paying dividends, as customers look to discover more of the indigenous varietals of Italy. What those customers are also finding is that Sicilian wines offer fantastic value for money.
Viticulture: The vines are trellis trained. Manuel harvest.
Vinification: Each grape variety is fermented separately. Temperature controlled maceration in stainless steel vats and the must is fermented dry with immediate start of malolactic fermentation. Aged for 6 months in 100Hl and
80Hl oak barrels.
Tasting Note: Persistent and well-balanced with a long and elegant finish and a bouquet
recalling ripe red berries, fruit jam and spices.
Every day serving suggestion: Serve at room temperature with mature cheese, carpaccio and grilled red meats.
Blend Nero d’Avola 60%, Cabernet Sauvignon 40%
