Description

There is an ancient history and a recent history behind the quality of this Neromaccarj, 100% Nero d'Avola. Thin and compact stratifications characterize the geological history of soils. The most current record of vineyards was planted over 35 years ago. Stories united by passion, knowledge and determination have led to the identification of this cru, among the most renowned in the area of Pachino, to make a powerful wine with a dense tannic texture.
