Lichiani | Nero D’Avola Merlot
year
2022
classification
DOC Sicilia
Terrabedda was born from the need to embrace a conscious, ethical and sustainable lifestyle, in a virtuous symbiosis between people and the environment. A choice that allows us to offer wines of excellent quality that enhance the aromas of the grapes and the varietal characteristics.
This is our way of rediscovering harmony with nature and of affirming our love for the scents and flavours of an unspoilt land.
Soil
Clay soils, with an excellent organic matter content.
Winemaking
De-stemming and crushing in a controlled atmosphere with immediate lowering of the temperature. Cold pre-fermentation maceration for 48 hours. Fermentation with maceration of about 10 days at progressive temperatures (from 18 °C to 28 °C). Pump-overs and délestage depending on the vintage and the course of fermentation. Racking and gentle pressing of the fermented pomace. Natural malolactic fermentation in steel, on average in 15-20 days at 22 °C. After blending the two varieties, ageing in 500 l tonneaux on the fine lees for about 6 months.
Organoleptic characteristics
Purple red. On the nose cherry jam, blackberries, black mulberry and blackcurrant with slight balsamic hints. On the palate it is full, with great body. Dense tannic structure, excellent persistence.
