Rosso Federica Riserva - Cantina Marilina

The Rosso Federica Riserva from Cantina Marilina in Sicily reveals a dense, purple-red color in the wine glass. Poured into a red wine glass, this Old World red wine presents wonderfully complex aromas of violet, rose, plum, and sour cherry, rounded off with juniper berry.

This Italian wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor profile. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine, this Italian charmer, despite all its dryness, captivates with the finest balance. Flavor does not necessarily require residual sugar. On the palate, this powerful red wine is characterized by an incredibly dense and meaty texture. The finish of this red wine from the Sicilian wine-growing region, more precisely from Sicilia DOC, ultimately convinces with a beautiful aftertaste. The finish is also accompanied by mineral notes from the limestone-dominated soils.

Vinification of Cantina Marilina Rosso Federica Riserva

The powerful Rosso Federica Riserva from Italy is a single-varietal wine, organically vinified from the Nero d'Avola grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Sicily. Here, the vines drive their roots deep into limestone soils. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are brought to the winery immediately. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks and concrete at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the Rosso Federica Riserva can continue to harmonize on the fine lees for 42 months.
