Donnafugata Sherazade Nero d’Avola Sicilia DOC

2017

In a Nutshell

Velvety smooth Nero d'Avola from the Rallo family.

Tasting Notes

Brilliant ruby red with purple hues, the Sherazade has a bouquet of fragrant strawberries and blackberries with violets and hints of black pepper. The palate is soft and enveloping with flavours that reflect the nose and smooth tannins.

Production Notes

After gentle pressing, the must was fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with an eight-day maceration on the skins at 24-26°C. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine remained in tank for two months before bottling. It then spent almost three months in bottle before release.
