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.
