Searched on the recommendation of friends, found here and immediately bought a few boxes. No regrets: A red that is ideal for Mediterranean cuisine, but can also be drunk very well "solo". In short: Not "cheap" but "Much value for the price".

It must be m. M. n. not lamb or game. The wine is very round and soft and goes in the direction of "Ripasso". He does not determine the meal, he accompanies it. Gladly also to pizza or pasta.

More information about TANK No 26 Nero d'Avola Appassimento IGT - Cantine Minini

The TANK No 26 Appassimento Nero d'Avola from Casa Vinicola Minini is a single-varietal Nero d'Avola with a dark core, lined with violet reflections. If you pour this red wine from Sicily into a large-volume glass, beguiling, balsamic notes and dried fruits such as currants and prunes are immediately noticeable on the nose. Ripe fruit notes of cherries and plums, combined with subtle hints of chocolate, complete the bouquet. There are also clear, spicy aspects of sweet spices.

On the palate, the TANK No 26 Nero d'Avola delivers what it promises on the nose. This red wine is highly concentrated, very rich in extract, but still has enough fruit acidity to prevent it from being jammy and dull. On the long finish, dried fruit aromas and a lovely chocolate note delight the palate.

Vinification for the TANK No 26 Appassimento Nero d'Avola by Minini

Mario Minini, who successfully produces wines in northern Italy with Cantine Francesco Minini and in Sicily with Corte dei Mori, has fulfilled a long-cherished dream with TANK No 26 and Camivini. He has finally been able to produce a wine from the autochthonous Sicilian grape variety Nero d'Avola using the appassimento method. In appassimento, the grapes are dried like raisins before processing, which significantly changes their sugar content and aroma. With TANK No 26, this is not done on straw mats in warehouses, as is the case with the northern Italian Amarone, but directly on the vine.

Only the best plots of vineyards near Marsala in northern Sicily, whose grapes are absolutely ripe and undamaged, are selected for this. The vineyards are located in the east of Marsala at an altitude of over 400 meters above sea level. The vines are not newly planted, but are low-yielding, old vines that produce particularly high-quality grapes. After the gentle harvest, the almost raisined grapes are brought to the winery for tank no. 26. There, the grapes are crushed and fermented in wooden fermentation tanks. The wine is then matured in wooden barrels before being bottled.

Wine recommendation for the Tank No 26 Nero d'Avola

Enjoy the TANK N°26 Appassimento at 16-18°C with braised beef, lamb or game, with pasta and mature cheese or simply on its own.
