One of the first Nero d'Avolas to be introduced in the American market, Regaleali Nero d'Avola is a well- established example of this varietal from Sicily. Cultivated in the heart of the island, this wine expresses style and class of well-known European wines. After 10 days of maceration with the skins, the must is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. 95% of the wine is then aged for six to eight months in 300 and 600 Liter Slovenian oak barrels, while 5% is aged in 300 liter second passage Allier and Troncais barrels.
Refined in bottle for two months before release, this wine offers a bright ruby red color, and a rich bouquet of cherry, blackberry, mulberry, vanilla, cinnamon, mint and sage. On the palate, it is complex and supple, with ripe berries framed by juicy tannins. The right choice for eggplant parmigiana, pasta with meat sauce, meatballs, sausages, pizza and roasted meats. A delicious Sicilian red, and a great value!--Winemakers Note
