Description
Kerasos means cherry in Greek. And so, a very logical name for this cuvée. The strong cherry aromas cannot be escaped. Characteristic of Nero d'Avola from Camporeale, Sicily, ruby red, spicy and fruity, forest fruits and violets with soft tannins. The area is subject to considerable temperature fluctuations and so a mouthful and yet a very fresh aftertaste develops here.
Valdibella is a cooperative where the winegrowers still have a say in the management and style of the wines. There are 6 winegrowers responsible for the 38 hectares of vineyards. They work as naturally as possible.
The vineyards are situated between 300-500 m altitude in a hilly area between Camporeale and Monreale. 'Regosuoli' (brown) topsoil with lots of clay (rich in calcium, lime). Yield 50hl/ha, manual harvest in small bins.
Only wild yeasts and natural malolactic fermentation are used. No filtering, no sulphites added.
