Lamuri Nero d'Avola 2020 DOC Sicily - Tasca d'Almerita Tenuta Regaleali

Lamuri Nero d'Avola, from the "Love" of the Tasca d'Almerita family for good wine

HISTORY

This Sicilian red wine fully expresses the expression of the grapes from which it is born: Nero d'Avola grapes grown in the high hills of Tenuta Regaleali, the historic estate of the Tasca d'Almerita family

It differs from all other Sicilian red wines due to its aromas and its not too late maturation.

Its refinement takes place in barriques of different ages, and this gives this wine soft and elegant tannins, with a woody hint that is never too invasive.

The name of this Sicilian red wine is linked to what in Sicilian means "Love" or "Lamuri", which the Tasca d'Almerita family has put into its work for generations and generations.
