ADDITIONAL NOTES:
"La Bella Sedara" from Sicilian winery Donnafugata is an intense, fruity rosso with a typical Mediterranean profile. It comes from a blend of Nero d'Avola, to which are added pic-cole percentages of other red grapes grown in the lands of southwestern Sicily. The choice of a very delicate vinification and aging only in steel, allow the fragrant varietal nature of the grapes to be preserved. It is an immediate wine, with a fresh and flowing drinkability, which is appreciated at the table for its extreme ductility in pairings.
The wine "La Bella Sedara" is produced by the Donnafugata winery with the desire to create a rosso with a convivial and everyday face, medium-bodied and very pleasant to the palate. It is a label that expresses very well the great vocation of the Tenuta Contessa Entellina territory, also for the cultivation of different varieties of red grapes. In fact, the wine comes from a balanced blend of Nero d'Avola, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and other local grapes. The Contessa Entellina estate is a Donnafugata property covering an area of 238 hectares, in a wonderful hilly terrain with altitudes between 200 and 600 meters above sea level. The wind-swept climate with large temperature ranges and the clay loam soils provide an ideal habitat for vine cultivation. Manual harvesting of nero d'avola and other red varieties generally takes place between late August and early September. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats, with maceration on the skins for about 10 days. The wine matures in steel vats for 8 months and finishes aging with 5 months in the bottle.
Donnafugata's "La Bella Sedàra" rosso is inspired by the character of the charming Angelica Sedàra from Luchino Visconti's film "Il Gattopardo," played by a beautiful Claudia Cardinale. The color is bright ruby red. On the nose it expresses. fragrant aromas of small berries, spicy nuances and hints of wild herbs from the mid-terranean bush. The sip is harmonious and balanced, with crisp, juicy fruit, subtle tannins and a pleasant freshness on the finish.
