Questo vino
Grapes
The four varieties each contribute a distinct element: Nerello Mascalese provides elegance and vibrancy; Nerello Cappuccio contributes deep colour, restrained tannins and acidity; Nocera adds berry aromas and hints of spice; and Nero d’Avola brings power and sweet tannins.
Vinification
The grapes are destemmed and mechanically crushed. The must undergoes a long maceration and ferments with native yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks.
Ageing
The wine matures partly in oak barrels and partly in medium and small steel tanks for at least 12 months, followed by a further six months in bottle.
Label / history
The name “Quattroenne” refers to the four grape varieties in the blend, whose names all begin with the letter N.
