Firriato's Chiaramonte Nero d 'Avola comes in a powerful ruby red colour with light violet shades and reveals a fragrant, clear fruitiness to the nose, dominated by plums, blackberries, black cherries and blueberries. If you continue to feel the aromas of the bouquet, spicy notes of cloves, black pepper, liquorice, dark chocolate and oriental spices are added.
On the palate, the Firriato Chiaramonte Nero d 'Avola wonderfully combines its power received by the Sicilian sun with expressive softness. This red wine from the deepest south of Italy reveals a deep, flattering and at the same time specific character, underlined by silky soft and appealing tannins.
Vinification of the Chiaramonte Nero d 'Avola by Firriato
The grapes for this classic among the red wines of Sicily are gently pressed immediately after harvesting and fermented in a stainless steel tank. After fermentation, the Chiaramonte Nero d 'Avola matures for 6 months in American oak barrels and then for another 3 months on the bottle. This allows him to refine himself perfectly
.Food recommendation for Firriato Chiaramonte Nero d 'Avola
