Don Mannarone Rosso Terre Siciliane IGT - Mánnara

The Don Mannarone Terre Siciliane from Mánnara appears a deep dark red in the glass.

Fruity aromas of ripe red berries are immediately noticeable on the nose. The palate is full of baroque opulence.

Vinification of the Don Mannarone Rosso Mánnara

The Don Mannarone IGT Terre Siciliane from Mánnara is a cuvée made from Nero d'Avola, Merlot and Syrah. The grapes grow in the best conditions in the western part of Sicily.

After ageing, the wine is cuvéetiert.

The Don Mannarone was named after the founder of the winery and is similar in style to the northern Italian Amarone due to its rich aromas and subtle but well-integrated residual sugar.
