Description

Faro DOC still red, 14% ABV, produced by Palari. Blend: Nerello Cappuccio, Nerello Mascalese, Nero d'Avola, Nocera. 0.75 L bottle, 2014 vintage. A wine that tells the thousand-year history of Faro, produced on the hills of Messina, where viticulture has ancient roots. Since 1990, Palari, with Donato Lanati, has been able to best interpret this unique terroir. The vines, planted bush-trained, enjoy an exceptional microclimate. Ample and intense, with notes of jasmine, cardamom, and ripe red fruits on a spicy background combined with vanilla and fine wood. Ruby red in color with garnet highlights, tending toward brick red over time. Dry, velvety, and enveloping, the sweetness of the tannins is evident, along with long, persistent sensations.

Origin In the Palari district, in S. Stefano Briga di Messina, extend our vineyards, planted with indigenous grapes with names as ancient as they are fascinating for what they evoke.
Climate The microclimate is truly unique, as in less than 5 km the altitude goes from 0 to 420 m above sea level. This climate and the strict selection of grapes allow us to obtain less than 1 Kg of one per plant. The vineyards face south-east.
Cultivation system Sapling
Wine making Soft crushing, fermentation at controlled temperatures, maturation in barriques and subsequent ageing in air-conditioned rooms make it possible to create this wine of ancient tradition. Traditional red wine, fermentation in small stainless steel vats with thermal conditioning of the fermentation and maceration process.
Aging In small new troncais and allier barrels for a period dependent on the structural composition of the vintage . Stays in the bottle no less than 18 months.
