Last of the three reds we received from Assuli Winery, but only one from their Premium line-up. This bottling is made of 100% Nero d'Avola. Additionally this wine is Terre Siciliane IGT which is the same as DOC or Denominazione di Origine Controllata. Aged for 18 months in large oak barrels and an additional 6 months in bottle.
