Terre Siciliane IGT Mille e una Notte 2019 Donnafugata

The Mille e una Notte by Donnafugata was born in the vineyards located on the Contessa Entellina estate, in the heart of south-western Sicily.

It is produced with Nero d'Avola grapes and other varieties, harvested only by hand. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, with maceration on the skins, at a controlled temperature of 26-30 °C for about 12 days. The wine ages in oak barrels for a period of 15-16 months and then in bottle for a further 30 months, before being released on the market.

The Mille e una Notte is characterized by a ruby red colour. The nose offers an enveloping bouquet in which the notes of tobacco and cocoa stand out. On the palate, the olfactory scents are repeated, on a fruity background of black mulberries and cherries. The wine is also large and complex, with elegant tannins.

Perfect to accompany red meats, pork and lamb, it is ideal in combination with fish dishes.
