Contesa dei Venti 2022 Vittoria DOC Nero d’Avola Sicily

Contesa dei Venti 2022 by Donnafugata is a Nero d’Avola from the DOC Vittoria that elegantly interprets the character of southeastern Sicily. It is a red wine with a fragrant and enveloping profile, designed for those seeking a versatile, immediate, and at the same time refined bottle, capable of uniting freshness, softness, and a pleasant drinkability.

Territory and wine style

The DOC Vittoria expresses a particular territorial vocation, where the proximity between the sea and the Iblei Mountains contributes to creating ideal conditions for wines with a clear aromatic profile and balanced structure. In this context, Contesa dei Venti enhances the most elegant side of Nero d’Avola, with a style that favors expressiveness, harmony, and tasting lightness. The choice of packaging in a can adds a practical and distinctive touch, making it interesting as a gift idea or for consumption away from home.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a ruby red color. On the nose, floral sensations of lavender immediately emerge, followed by a fragrant bouquet of red fruits such as cherry and raspberry, with spicy hints of sage and black pepper and a balsamic note of juniper. The sip is fresh, harmonious, and well-defined, with a consistent return of fruity notes. The tannin is soft and enveloping, while the finish is persistent and elegant, in line with a modern and smooth style.

Recommended pairings

Contesa dei Venti naturally pairs well with cured meats, grilled vegetables, grilled meats, and flavorful fish dishes with a delicate spicy note. It is also a particularly interesting choice with tuna sushi, thanks to its freshness and gentle structure. It works well for both an evolved aperitif and an informal dinner when one desires a non-demanding red that can accompany the meal with personality.

Serving temperature

To best appreciate Contesa dei Venti, a serving temperature of 15-16°C is recommended. It can be uncorked at the moment and served in medium-sized glasses to enhance the aromas and maintain a fresh and balanced drinkability.
