Tenuta Sallier de La Tour Vintage 2022 DOC Sicilia

Nero d'Avola

Low yields in the vineyard ensure a concentrated, high quality harvest. The choice to age the wine partly in wood and partly in steel allows us to combine the fresh and fruitiness of a young wine with extremely elegant aromas of spices and licorice, indicators of good aging potential over time.

Vineyard

Thanks to the crisp, dense land, the Nero d’Avola grown in the hills of the Tenuta Sallier de La Tour is characterized by a long ripening and low yield per hectare.

Soil

The soil has an excellent balance of clay, sand, and silt, which makes it particularly suitable for growing Nero d’Avola in this area.
