This Nero d'Avola "Calanìca" from the Sicilian winery Duca di Salaparuta is produced with 100% Nero d'Avola grapes, grown in the vineyards located in the central-western part of the island. At the end of the harvest which takes place in the second half of September, the grapes ferment and refine in steel; then the wine is bottled and it is in the bottle that this Sicilian red wine remains in aging for a month, before being sold.
