Description
Tancredi Donnafugata is a wine produced by the famous Sicilian winery Donnafugata with Nero d'Avola, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tannat, and other grapes grown in the splendid Contessa Entellina estate, whose soils are clay-loam with a limestone content that allows the grapes to synthesize a good amount of coloring substances and typical aromas. The grapes are harvested manually and brought to the winery for crushing. The fermentation with maceration has variable duration and temperature depending on the variety, as each cultivar is vinified and aged separately; only later will the blending occur. After alcoholic fermentation, the wines that make up Tancredi Donnafugata are separated from the skins and aged in French oak barriques for 14 months, after which the various wines are blended for the best balance and bottled. Tancredi Donnafugata remains in the bottle for 30 months before being marketed. Pairings: Tancredi Donnafugata is an excellent wine to pair with steak, gourmet burgers, and game. It can be enjoyed immediately if served in large glasses with a wide mouth and good height. Perfect also with aged cheeses, even very flavorful ones.
