Rapitalà has become part of the limited circle of great names which has fundamentally influenced the recent course of Sicilian oenology. The Rapitalà Winery, amongst the most up-to-date in Sicily, is situated in the magnificent estate of the same name, 175 hectares of which 105 are vineyard in the area of Camporeale, on gently rolling hills at between 300 and 600 metres where the perfect aspect and the composition of the soil make it ideal for the cultivation of the most prized vine varieties.

100% Nero D’Avola

Selected grapes cultivated between 300 to 400 metres above sea level are trained by the Guyot system on clayey terrain with limited yields of grapes per hectare.

The grapes, picked in mid-September are vinified separately by the red wine method in small stainless steel containers. Average to long macerations and controlled temperatures help to give this product a good structure.

Ruby red colour, with a bouquet reminiscent of plum, berry and with hints of dark chocolate and violets. On the palate, it displays meaty blackberry and mineral character. Medium- to full-bodied, with good, solid tannins and a long finish.

13% alcohol; 5,10g/1 total acidity; 3,60ph; 2g/1 sugar; 28g/l dry extract.

Poultry of all kinds (guinea fowl, duck, turkey etc.). Roast white meats and mature cheeses.
