Color: Dark red. Aroma: Fruity aroma of dark berry fruit like black currant, cherry and plum noting licorice and oak. Taste: Medium-bodied, fresh fruit flavor with hints of spices combined with soft acids and an integrated oak character. Food pairing: Pairs very well with red and white meat, seafood with red sauce and various pasta dishes. Best served at 16 C. ​ Production and maturation: Nero d´Avola and Cabernet Sauvignon are fermented separately in stainless steel tanks with daily over pumping of the must. After the malolactic fermentation half of the Cabernet Sauvignon is matured in oak for a period of time to obtain the desired level of oak structure and then blended with the remaining part of the Cabernet Sauvignon. The two varietals are thereafter blended together for the final cuvee of Crudo Nero d´Avola Cabernet Sauvignon 14.5% ABV
