Description

This mature Grottarossa comes from Enopolio di Caltanissetta, a historic Sicilian producer known for crafting robust, expressive red wines that reflect the warmth and character of central Sicily. The wine displays a deep garnet-red colour with amber highlights, a testament to its long bottle ageing. On the nose, it reveals aromas of dried black cherries, fig, plum, gentle spice, and subtle earthy notes of leather and sun-baked soil. The palate is smooth and rounded, with softened tannins carrying flavours of stewed dark fruits, hints of cocoa, and delicate herbal nuances. The finish is long, warm, and harmonious, showcasing the wine’s depth, richness, and classic Sicilian character.

Decanting: Stand the bottle upright for 2–3 days prior to opening to allow any sediment to settle. Decant slowly and carefully through a fine strainer, allowing 1–2 hours of gentle aeration before serving at 16–18°C. A fragile cork is very common with older bottles, where the wine has been in prolonged contact with the cork over many decades. We therefore recommend straining any cork fragments during the decanting process.
