Nero d'Avola 2024 Sicilia Doc - Autentici di Sicilia Duca di Salaparuta

Autentici di Sicilia Nero d'Avola red wine from the Duca di Salaparuta winery

Sicilian red wine made from pure Nero d'Avola grapes, produced in Western Sicily, in the area between Marsala and Palermo, in the province of Trapani, in the Risignolo estate.

A typical Sicilian vine that Duca di Salaparuta uses to pay homage to one of the greatest exponents of twentieth-century Italian art: Renato Guttuso. In fact, the colors of the work "Paesaggio dell'Aspra" are all inside the label that represents this wine, which wants to tell the bond not only oenological but also cultural with the territory of Bagheria.

Thanks to the land in which it is born, this typical Sicilian red wine takes on an intense ruby red color with some violet reflections.

Upon opening it presents a bouquet of red fruits such as cherry, morello cherry, plum, blackcurrant.

On the palate it is very fresh and decisive, with a very succulent sip and a pleasant freshness on the finish.
