Feudo Arancio Riserva 2019

This is the team’s pointy end Nero d’Avola with grapes from two of their Sicilian estates. 30% of the wine is aged in stainless steel to ensure a vibrancy to the fruit, while the remaining 70% spends eight to ten months in French oak barrels. The two components are then blended together for a little extra maturation in steel before further time in the bottle. Deep red/maroon, a complex earthy style with notes of blackberries, tobacco leaves, aniseed, miso, bruised plums, coffee grinds and a dusting of cocoa powder. A medium length wine with a sour cherry finish and hints of dusty tannins. There is a fine line of acidity running the length. Enjoy now and for the next six years.
