ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Donnafugata's Nero d'Avola "Sherazade" is a Sicilian red wine that well embodies the mediterranean spirit of one of the most important production realities of the entire southern Italy-Leon. A product that is a living expression of the territory, made from one of the most typical and representative red grapes of the island's winemaking tradition, Nero d'Avola. This "Sherazade," named after one of the protagonists of the novella collection "The Thousand and One Nights" to which Donnafugata dedicates part of its eti-chettes, is striking for the perfect balance found between nose and nose. A bottle that gives us a fresh, genuine and carefree drink.
The "Sherazade" red wine from the Donnafugata winery comes from a careful selection of Nero d'Avola, an indigenous Sicilian grape variety that is cultivated in vineyards located on clay-loam soils at an altitude between 200 and 450 meters above sea level; after the harvest, alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel containers, macerating for 6-8 days and also carrying out malolactic fermentation. This is followed by aging, carried out in steel for about 4 months, and bottling.
Donnafugata's "Sherazade" is a Nero d'Avola that in the glass shows a luminous ruby-red co-lore, with some violet reflections in the rim. The range of pro-fumes on the nose is centered on fruity notes of cherry and plum, alternating with light hints of sweet spices and minerals. The palate is full-bodied, tactile, characterized by a fresh sip in perfect taste-olfactory correspondence and velvety tannins. It is a very versatile label from a gastronomic point of view, accompanying different ti-pologies of dishes and recipes: the only important thing is to always have a good supply on hand!
