More about Nero D’Avola Sikele By Cantina Marilina
The Sikele Rosso 2018 is from organic Nero d’Avola grown on limestone and harvested by hand. Fermentation is spontaneous and carried out in concrete vats, aged in concrete for 8 months and bottle aged for 3 months. The wine is unfined, unfiltered with minimal sulfur added.
Freshness is the first thing that comes to mind while thinking about how to describe this wine. I think of freshly picked raspberries and volcanic soil on the nose, followed by beautiful fresh and juicy tannins, macerated black and blue fruits, volcanic minerality, balanced with a bit of restraint on the fruit and vibrant refreshing acidity that keeps the energy flowing.
