Terre Siciliane IGT Tancredi 2020 Donnafugata

Donna Fugata's Tancredi was born in the vineyards located on the Contessa Entellina estate, in the heart of south-western Sicily. In 2018 the Tancredi presents itself in a special guise, with a label designed by Dolce & Gabbana, extraordinary ambassadors of Sicilian culture, who wanted to pay homage to the Leopard, and in particular to the contrast between tradition and modernity that Tancredi sums up in itself.

It is mainly produced with Cabernet Sauvignon and Nero d'Avola grapes, harvested and selected only by hand. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, with maceration on the skins, at a controlled temperature of 28-30 ° C for 14 days. Subsequently the wine matures in oak barrels for about 12 months and for another 24 months in the bottle, before being put on the market.

It is characterized by an intense red color. The wine has an intense and pleasant bouquet of berries and plums, combined with balsamic, sweet tobacco and licorice hints. On the palate it is complex and elegant, with noble and well-balanced tannins with a pleasant fragrance.

Perfect to accompany red meats and roasts, it is ideal in combination with game and braised meats, but also with tuna and fatty fish.
