Made exclusively from Nero d’Avola grapes, it displays an intense ruby red colour with violet highlights. The bouquet weaves together elegant \u003cstrong\u003emineral notes\u003c\/strong\u003e with lively hints of wild berries and morello cherry. On the palate, it is enveloping and fruity, supported by \u003cstrong\u003esoft, balanced tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that lead to a \u003cstrong\u003epersistent finish\u003c\/strong\u003e. It enhances the flavours of braised meats, game, mature cheeses and local specialities such as red tuna sfincione.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes ripen in the heart of the Belìce Valley, around Gibellina, on hilly slopes situated at about four hundred metres above sea level. The vineyards tended by Tenute Orestiadi sink their roots into a particular \u003cstrong\u003eblack soil\u003c\/strong\u003e, extremely compact and able to withstand periods of drought well. This soil, rich in valuable \u003cstrong\u003esilty-clay substances\u003c\/strong\u003e, imparts a complex aromatic heritage to the vines, allowing the wine to naturally develop its unmistakable \u003cstrong\u003eMediterranean character\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe harvest is carried out by hand during the first ten days of September. After gentle crushing, fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, using frequent pumping over and the \u003cstrong\u003edélestage technique\u003c\/strong\u003e to optimise aroma extraction. The next stage involves malolactic fermentation in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, which enhances the wine’s smoothness. Ageing continues for four months in stainless steel and a further eight to ten months in wood, concluding with a period of rest in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginating from Gibellina, in the Belìce Valley, \u003cstrong\u003eNero d’Avola Douar\u003c\/strong\u003e embodies the essence of Tenute Orestiadi, a winery established in 2008 from a deep connection with Sicilian culture.
