IL VINO
The Coste a Preola Nero d’Avola from the Tenuta Gorghi Tondi winery is produced with 100% Nero d’Avola grapes, grown in vineyards owned by the winery. We are near Mazara del Vallo in the westernmost part of Sicily, a stone’s throw from the sea and the sea breezes. The estate is located within a nature reserve protected by the WWF.
The winery is a family-run winery run by women, and since 2016 all vineyards have been certified organic, which means that all the wines are organic and carry the famous green leaf on the label. Both in the vineyard and in the cellar, there is the utmost respect for nature and its balance.
The wine takes its name from the area where the vineyard is located named “Coste a Pietra”, to pay homage to the Sicily biodiversity. the Nero d’Avola represents the beauty of the Sicilian territory which has always been suited to the production of quality wines.
THE WINEMAKING
After the grape harvest which takes place in the second ten days of September, only the selected grapes go to the cellar for winemaking, which begins with a two week maceration on the skins. The must ferments in steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The refinement also occurs in steel, where the wine ages for about seven months on the noble lees. After assembly and bottling, the wine rests for a few more months in the cellar before being released on the market.
THE TASTING
Bright ruby red with light purple reflections; the aroma is elegant with pleasant notes of berries that intertwine with hints of cherry to close with spicy scents. Intense and soft on the palate, this Coste a Preola Nero d’Avola is soft with silky and well-polished tannin and a long and persistent finish.
FOOD PAIRINGS
This Nero d’Avola pairs well with red meat even grilled, tasty and spicy cheeses. Try it with truffle.
