Rosso Riserva Sicilia CANTODORO DOC Feudo Arancio

Cantodoro di Feudo Arancio is a Sicilian DOC red wine made from two grape varieties, Nero d'Avola and Cabernet Sauvignon, grown in the Sambuca di Sicilia area, in the province of Agrigento. This blend represents the meeting between the native Sicilian tradition and the international elegance of Cabernet. The grapes are harvested separately when they reach full ripeness: Nero d'Avola in the second week of September and Cabernet Sauvignon in the first week of October. Winemaking takes place for both varieties with maceration on the skins and fermentation at controlled temperature, followed by malolactic fermentation. After separate winemaking, the wines ripen in French oak barriques for several months and are then assembled, further refining into wood to promote aromatic integration and blend complexity.
