Chiaramonte 2023 is made from 100% Nero d'Avola at the Dàgala Borromeo estate in the Trapani countryside. It is a medium-bodied Sicilian red built around generous fruit, clear spice and a smooth tannic texture.

Sicilian fruit with measured oak ageing

The vineyards lie at around 230 metres above sea level, with south/south-west exposure and medium-textured soils tending towards clay. Traditional red vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, followed by 6 months in American oak barriques.

In the glass

It shows an intense ruby colour with violet hues. Aromas of plum, blackberry, black cherry and blueberry are followed by clove, black pepper, liquorice, dark chocolate and earthy notes. The palate combines character and softness, with silky tannins and an enveloping feel.

At the table

Serve at 16-18 °C. It pairs well with flavourful pasta dishes, roasted or grilled meats and medium-aged cheeses.
