Delia Nivolelli Syrah Riserva DOC 75 cl
Delia Nivolelli Syrah Riserva DOC by Caruso e Minini is a varietal Syrah from western Sicily. The vineyards lie on the calcareous hills of the Delia Nivolelli area, where warmth, wind and cool night-time temperatures give the grape a structured and multi-layered expression. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The wine then matures for 24 months in French oak casks, followed by a further 6 months of bottle ageing. In the glass, it displays an intense ruby-red colour with violet highlights. The nose reveals a broad and complex bouquet, with floral notes of dried violets and peonies, accompanied by black cherry and subtle herbal nuances. On the palate, the Syrah is full-bodied, layered and harmoniously structured, with finely polished tannins, spicy notes and a long, persistent finish.
