Lamoresca Nero D'avola Rosso 2021

Notes from the winemaker: “We aim to craft a distinctive Nero d'Avola. This journey begins with intensive work in the vineyard. The grapes are selected from vineyards featuring vines aged at least 70 years and others that are 10 years old. Subsequently, in the winery, we employ a technique of extremely long skin maceration. This approach helps the Nero d'Avola shed its typical sharp tannins, resulting in a highly elegant wine. This wine is created to restore honour to a grape variety that has traditionally been misunderstood in Sicily."

"It’s Nero, but maybe not as you know it. Spicy, almost mustard green or watercress, but also liquorice/aniseed, violets, earth, cherry and amaro. It’s fresh, sappy, an earthy grip to tannin, orange peel and spiced strawberry, so much zest and tang, but has the bass to go with it, and almonds. Fresh raspberry, dry and silty finish. Quite a wine. Classic Lamoresca feel, but different too. It’s a terrific wine. Fans of this producer should probably form an orderly queue". (Gary Walsh)- Winefront
