Nero d’Avola Sicilia DOC “Kore” 2022 – Colomba Bianca

The grapes to produce Nero d’Avola Sicilia DOC “Kore” Colomba Bianca were meticulously selected, then destemmed and crushed.

Sicily’s beloved Nero’Avola is famed for its deep, rich wines and is considered by some to be the island’s most important red variety. Here in these sun-drenched vineyards, the highest standards are attained through the use of innovative technology and the careful process of mapping the terroir according to the weather patterns, harvesting time, soils and vine age. The grapes undergo a sensory analysis and are hand harvested at the optimum maturity levels, according to the terroir and microclimate of the vineyard. They are then harvested into 20 kilogram containers, to prevent the grapes from being prematurely crushed. The vineyards are made up of distinct soil and climate conditions and range from sea-level up to 700 metres above sea level, imparting subtle complexity into the wine.
