Nicosia Sosta Tre Santi Nero d'Avola Riserva 2019
Sosta Tre Santi Nero d’Avola is the ‘Cru’ of the company's vineyards in the village of Bonincontro (Vittoria), created from a blend of the principal Sicilian grape variety with a small percentage of Syrah. The careful selection of the grapes in the vineyard and in the winery, the slow maceration and the long refinement process make a red wine that is full-bodied and structured, with a rich and irrepressible aromatic structure.

Colour

Ruby red with purple highlights.

Bouquet

Intense, spicy and fruity with notes of jam and distinctive balsamic overtones.

Flavour

Velvety, full-bodied, displays an excellent balance and persistent finish.
