Caruso & Minini 'Nebacco' Nero d'Avola Sicily 2019

The Nebacco is a quintessential expression of Sicilian winemaking, offering a bright scarlet hue and a bouquet that bursts with red fruit character. The nose is vibrant and inviting, with notes of cherries, strawberries, raspberries, and pomegranates, accentuated by a subtle undertone of brick dust that adds depth and intrigue.

On the palate, the wine delivers a harmonious interplay of flavors. The initial blaze of ripe fruit evolves into sweeter, syrupy tones, balanced by a kick of spice and the textural complexity of dusty tannins. Bright acidity keeps the wine lively, ensuring a fresh and elegant finish.

Crafted with absolute dedication, this wine showcases the best of Nero d’Avola. The meticulous process begins with hand-harvesting in late September, followed by precise maceration, fermentation, and malolactic fermentation in steel tanks. Aging is carefully managed, with 30% spending four months in barriques and 70% maturing in steel tanks for eight months, resulting in a well-rounded and polished profile.

Nebacco is a wine of balance and refinement, perfectly suited for both seasoned enthusiasts and those new to Sicilian wines. It is an elegant choice for pairing with grilled meats, aged cheeses, or rich pasta dishes.
