Firriato Nero d'Avola Harmonium 2019
Harmonium is the winning combination of Nero d’Avola’s strength and Firriato’s style, whose goal is to create the “cru of crus” that offered all the manifestations of this eclectic vine’s richness. After 15 years of analysis and micro vinification, Firriato identified three crus in the 165 hectares of the Borgo Guarini Estate: Ferla, Lepre and Beccaccia, cultivating vines from three different Nero d’Avola clones. The complexity of the soil and climate conditions has allowed the other organoleptic characteristics of the three Single Vineyards to be highlighted. In addition, the Harmonium grapes are harvested at different times because they ripen at different times. As a result, they are vinified separately before being blended and create a unique wine.

Colour

Deep ruby with lively purple reflections.

Bouquet

Concentrated and well-defined nuances of morello cherry, berries, rhubarb, clove, herbs and plum alternate and intersect with fascinating hints of liquorice, ink and tobacco leaves.

Flavour

Soft and with a great personality with a strong Mediterranean imprint, combining with admirable harmony, powerful and exuberant texture with an extraordinary tannic structure.
