Stemmari Nero D'Avola 2023

Introduction

Stemmari Nero d'Avola is produced in Sicily, Italy, primarily within the province of Agrigento near Sambuca di Sicilia where the grape thrives in clay-rich soils. The winery is part of the Mezzacorona group and is based at a historic 17th-century estate in Acate di Ragusa, which originally served as a noble summer residence. Stemmari's winemaking philosophy centres on the 'Art of Living, Sicilianly', blending traditional respect for the island's unique terroir with modern vinification techniques to create elegant, fruit-driven wines.

Wine Description

This wine exhibits a deep ruby red colour with distinct violet reflections. The intense bouquet features prominent notes of wild strawberries, currants, and pomegranate, accompanied by subtle hints of black plums and dark cherries. On the palate, it is soft and velvety with a medium body and pronounced fruitiness. The wine is often matured for six months in French barriques, which adds complexity through light notes of vanilla and baking spices.
