![]() |
2010 Now finished: NERO D'AVOLA, Vigneti Zabu. Sambuca, Sicily
Alcohol Percentage: 13.5%
Grape Variety: 100% Nero D'Avola, aged without wood to retain freshness
Producer: A new estate, vineyards planted post 2000, on the hills around Lake Arancio in south westSicily. Consultant winemaker is Valentino Sciotti, responsible for several other top producers in the south of Italy
Old Bridge Rating: The south and the islands is where value in Italy is now to be found. Great indigenous grape varieties are starting to show their true potential once careful winemaking is applied. With a surfeit of fruit intensity and concentration, grapes require gentle treatment rather than the aggressive macerations and extended oak maturations of traditional styles
