Tasting notes
An extremely intense ruby red in colour. On the bouquet there are prominent dark fruit notes of plums and blackberries, with nuances of balsamic, liqorice and carob. A very full-bodied wine, with a refreshing acidity, and a long finish showing soft and intense tannins.
Pairings
Our Senia is a wine that goes perfectly with complex pasta dishes or main courses like strongly flavoured meats such as game in a rich sauce.
Why we like it
Our Senia Nero d’Avola comes from vines which are aged between 15 and 30 years old. We look after these incredible vines extremely well, giving them our maximum attention. The grapes are picked by hand and put into small containers before being handed over into the care of our oenologists. It is fermented in open barriques in small batches of around 150 litres. It is then aged in barriques for at least 12 months and a further six months in bottle. For us, every single piece of land must be allowed to produce at its own pace and express its unique character. Senia Nero d’Avola represents the translation of this philosophy into wine.
