Donnafugata Sherazade from Sicily, Italy, is a vibrant still Red wine crafted solely from Nero d'Avola grapes. After gentle pressing, the must undergoes fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with skin maceration, followed by malolactic fermentation and four months in tank before bottling. This dry wine offers fragrant red plum and cherry aromas with delicate spicy and violet floral notes. The palate is soft and enveloping, showcasing smooth tannins and a spicy fruit profile with extraordinary freshness. It pairs beautifully with rich pasta dishes, grilled meats, or mature cheeses. This wine is vegan and vegetarian friendly.
