Description
What kind of wine it is
The Rosso del Soprano by Palari is a Sicilian wine with a dry and enveloping character, made from a blend of Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, Nero d’Avola and Nocera. It presents an intense ruby red colour in the glass, while on the nose it releases penetrating aromas of wild berries and jam. On the palate, it offers a long aftertaste of ripe fruit, making it the ideal companion for roast meats, game and mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from the Terre Siciliane region, from the hillside vineyards of Santo Stefano Briga overlooking the Strait of Messina. The south-east exposure ensures an excellent marine microclimate, with an altitude range from sea level up to four hundred and twenty metres. A rigorous selection of grapes, with very low yields per vine, allows the true essence of the territory to be extracted, giving the wine a clear expression and remarkable concentration.
How it is produced
The vinification process begins with a gentle pressing, followed by fermentation at a controlled temperature and maceration in steel. Maturation takes place in a balanced manner, with a period partly in steel and partly in small Tronçais oak barrels. At the end of the production cycle, ageing for at least eight months consolidates the structure and harmonises the aromatic profile before tasting.
History and Curiosities
Rosso del Soprano is born on the hills overlooking the Strait of Messina, celebrating the ancient Sicilian tradition in the eighteenth-century Villa Geraci. The Palari winery cultivates native grape varieties with yields of less than one kilogram per vine, ensuring absolute excellence. This fine 2016 vintage combines modern techniques with a noble soul. On the palate, it is dry and enveloping, releasing intense aromas of wild berries and jam. This award-winning Terre Siciliane IGT offers a long aftertaste of ripe fruit, ideal for accompanying red meats and mature cheeses.
