About this wine

Vinification

The two grape varieties are fermented separately in stainless-steel tanks.

Tasting profile

The aromatic nose recalls Middle Eastern sweets, with candied fruit, prune and raisin notes. The palate is silky and spicy.

Serving and pairing

Pair with red meat, mature cheeses or game.

Label / history

The name Nuhar means “flower” in Arabic. Tenuta Rapitalà was founded in 1971 by Count Bernard Hugonis della Gatinais, who rebuilt its cellars and winery after they were almost completely destroyed in the Belice Valley earthquake. The estate’s name means “river of Allah” in Arabic.
