Winemaking and Aging

The winemaking of Sicilia DOC Nero d’Avola “Lamùri” 2021 Magnum follows a careful process that respects the raw material. After manual harvesting, the grapes are fermented in steel tanks with a maceration on the skins of about ten days to extract color and aromas in a balanced way. Subsequently, the wine ages in French oak barriques of various ages for about twelve months. This aging in wood, managed with great sensitivity, softens the tannins and adds complexity to the bouquet, without ever covering the freshness and typical fruit of high-altitude Nero d’Avola.
