Argille di Tagghia Via Nero d'Avola DOC Sicilia 2019

Argille di Tagghia Via Nero d'Avola DOC Sicilia 2019 by Centopassi Cooperativa Agricola is a Sicilian red wine that combines territorial identity, agronomic attention, and essential style. Made from Nero d’Avola 100%, it originates from a vineyard located in Tagghia Via, in the Monreale area, and naturally interprets one of the emblematic grape varieties of Sicily in an authentic and modern key.

Territory and wine style

The Sicilia DOC designation enhances the regional origin of this red, while the certified organic farming emphasizes a respectful approach to the vineyard and the environment. The manual harvest in crates, carried out in the second decade of September, allows for the grapes to be picked at the most suitable moment for balance and ripeness. The vinification, with destemming and maceration of about 8 days, aims to extract color, aromas, and a measured structure, without weighing down the sip. The subsequent maturation in steel for 6 months helps maintain the fresh and direct profile of the wine.

Tasting notes

This Nero d’Avola DOC Sicilia presents the typical character of the grape variety: intense color, fruity profile, and a focused drinkability, capable of uniting softness and freshness. On the nose, sensations of ripe red fruit, dark notes, and Mediterranean nuances emerge, while on the palate, the wine shows good coherence between alcohol, acidity, and tannin. The finish is orderly, with a pleasant persistence and a structure that accompanies the sip without being heavy. It is a red that prioritizes balance and straightforwardness, with a recognizable and easily appreciable personality.
