TASCA D'ALMERITA LAMURI NERO D'AV.CL.75

Tasca d'Almerita's Lamùri Nero d'Avola

is an exceptional example of Sicily's most representative grape variety, Nero d'Avola. This wine originates from vineyards located at an altitude between 450 and 750 meters above sea level, in the Regaleali estate, one of the historic properties of the Tasca family, situated in the heart of the island. The production of Lamùri Nero d'Avola follows a rigorous grape selection process, with manual harvesting that generally takes place between late September and early October. The grapes, once harvested, undergo maceration on the skins for about 12 days to extract the maximum aromatic and coloring substances, and are fermented at a controlled temperature of 28-30°C. The wine matures for 12 months in French oak barriques, 20% of which are new, giving Lamùri remarkable complexity and structure without overwhelming the varietal characteristics of Nero d'Avola.

The result is a wine with an intense ruby red color, with violet reflections. On the nose, Lamùri offers a complex and enveloping bouquet, with scents of ripe red fruit, such as cherry and blackberry, accompanied by spicy notes of vanilla, tobacco, and chocolate. On the palate, it is full and round, with soft, well-integrated tannins that give the wine a pleasant structure. The finish is long and persistent, with a lingering aftertaste that recalls the fruity and spicy sensations perceived on the nose. Lamùri Nero d'Avola is a versatile wine that pairs perfectly with a variety of dishes. It is ideal with grilled red meats, roasts, game, and aged cheeses. However, thanks to its elegance and smoothness, it can also be enjoyed on its own as a meditation wine. This wine represents the essence of Tasca d'Almerita's production philosophy, which combines tradition and innovation, respect for the territory, and the pursuit of the highest quality. Lamùri is a testament to the potential of Nero d'Avola and Tasca d'Almerita's ability to create wines that best express the unique characteristics of Sicily.
