Second of the three reds we received from Assuli Winery. This bottling is made of 100% Nero d'Avola, is a red varietal commonly found on the island of Sciliy. Additionally this wine is Terre Siciliane IGT which is the same as DOC or Denominazione di Origine Controllata. Aged in around 3 or 4 months in stainless steel sur lees and then gets an additional 3 or 4 months in the bottle.
