12er Vorteils-Paket - Corvo Rosso Terre Siciliane - Duca di Salaparuta

With the Duca di Salaparuta 12 advantage package comes a first-class red wine in the wine glass. In this it offers a wonderfully brilliant ruby red color. If you swirl the wine glass, this red wine is characterized by a fascinating lightness that makes it dance lively in the glass. Poured into a Bordeaux glass, this Old World red wine reveals wonderfully expressive aromas of plum, blueberry, blackberry and morello cherry, rounded out by other fruity nuances contributed by aging in wooden barrels.

This wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with 3.4 grams of residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine Icon wine segment, this Italian naturally enchants with the finest balance despite all dryness. Excellent taste does not necessarily require a lot of residual sugar. Light-footed and multifaceted, this silky red wine presents itself on the palate. Due to the balanced fruit acidity, the 12 advantage package flatters with a velvety mouthfeel, without lacking freshness. In the finish, this good storable from the wine-growing region of Sicily finally inspires with considerable length. There are again hints of plum and damson. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the limestone-dominated soils join in.

Vinification of the Duca di Salaparuta 12 advantage package

The basis for the elegant 12 advantage package from Sicily are grapes from the Nerello Mascalese and Nero d'Avola varieties. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Sicily. The vines here dig their roots deep into soils of limestone. The 12 advantage pack is an Old World wine through and through, as this Italian breathes an extraordinary European charm that clearly underscores the success of Old World wines. The fact that the Nerello Mascalese and Nero d'Avola grapes thrive under the influence of a warm climate also has a very high influence on the ripening of the vintage. This manifests itself, among other things, in particularly well ripened grapes and rather high alcohol content in the wine. After harvesting, the grapes are taken to the press house as quickly as possible. Here they are sorted and carefully broken up. Fermentation then takes place in large wood at controlled temperatures. The fermentation is followed by a few months of aging on the fine lees before the wine is finally drawn into bottles. The aging in wooden barrels is followed by a long aging in bottle, which makes this red wine even more complex.
