About this wine

“Nero” is Lamoresca’s varietal Nero d’Avola, from 20-year-old bush vines planted around 430–550 m on sandy and siliceous soils. Farming is organic, and in the cellar Filippo works minimally, fermenting with native yeasts and macerating on skins for about two months before ageing for a year in concrete vats and further time in bottle. The wine is medium-plus in colour and body, with notes of cherry, raspberry, spice and dried herbs wrapped around a cool, saline core. Tannins are present but not heavy, giving a firm yet vibrant Sicilian red.

Critic notes: 100% Nero d’Avola with spicy cherry and raspberry fruit, hints of wild herbs and earthy minerality; medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and savoury, fine tannins.

In the nose

Spicy red and black cherries, raspberry, wild herbs and a touch of earth.

On the palate

Juicy yet savoury, with bright fruit, firm but fine tannins and a dry, spicy, slightly saline finish.

Lamoresca

Lamoresca is a tiny, rustic-chic estate in the hills of central Sicily, working organically with local varieties. The wines are juicy, characterful and often a bit wild, showcasing herbs, spice and a strong sense of Mediterranean scrub. They are soulful, unpolished bottles aimed at drinkability and authenticity.
