Description
Principi di Mola Sicilia DOC Nocera was born from the desire to rediscover an ancient grape variety and enhance it through modern, territory-respectful winemaking. The Nocera grapes, grown counter-espalier on medium-textured clay soils at an altitude of 400–500 meters above sea level, find their ideal habitat in the hills of northeastern Sicily, best expressing the peculiarities of the terroir.
The 2021 harvest is the result of a balanced vintage that produced healthy, aroma-rich grapes. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperature (24–26°C) for 8–10 days, followed by aging of 36 months in steel and 6 months in bottle.
In the glass, it presents an intense, bright and deep ruby red color. On the nose, it releases an elegant, complex bouquet, with floral notes of rose and violet and aromas of ripe red fruit such as cherry, raspberry and strawberry, enriched by spicy hints of pink pepper, cloves and star anise. A light mineral vein and a hint of toasted almond complete its aromatic profile.
On the palate it is warm, enveloping and harmonious, with a fine, silky tannic texture. Freshness and savoriness perfectly balance the structure, giving balance and long persistence.
Ideal paired with pasta dishes with meat sauce, grilled meats and medium-aged cheeses. Serve at 14–16°C.
