CDC Rosato
IGP Terre Siciliane
The diverse peoples that set up a common home here weave a seamless tapestry. The theme of this bottle is the unveiling of Sicily, with a rose-tinted glimpse of its Nero d’Avola soul.
​
Nero d'Avola 100%
​
“Aromas of dog roses, wild strawberries, raspberries and plums, with hints of minerals. Pleasing on the palate, with fruit and aromatic herb flavors. Well-balanced, with fragrant acidity and a delicate, sapid finish.”
​
Serving temperature: 10 – 12°C
HARVEST
Grapes harvested in the second half of August.
​
VINIFICATION
Hand harvesting in small crates. After de-stemming and crushing, the grapes are macerated on the skins at a temperature of 12°C, for about 3 hours. A light pressing follows, then the must is separated and delivered cold to the fermentation tank. At the conclusion of the fermentation process, the wine spends four months on the lees in temperature-controlled tanks, with weekly bâtonnages, and a further two months in bottle before release.
