Krio - Curto

The Krio from the wine-growing region of Sicily reveals itself in the glass in a bright purple-red. In the glass, this red wine from Curto presents aromas of plums, complemented by black cherry and licorice. The Curto Krio appears pleasantly dry to the wine lover. This red wine never comes across as rough or austere, as one might expect from a wine. On the palate, the texture of this well-balanced red wine is wonderfully velvety, dense, and powerful. The finish of this red wine from the Sicilian wine-growing region, more precisely from Sicilia DOC, is ultimately impressive with a lovely aftertaste. The finish is also accompanied by mineral notes from the limestone-dominated soils.

Vinification of Curto Krio

The balanced Krio from Italy is a single-varietal wine, vinified from the Syrah grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Sicily. Here, the vines sink their roots deep into limestone soils. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are quickly taken to the press house. There they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months on the fine lees before finally being bottled.
