This aged red wine is based on the same grapes as the unaged Contessa Entellina Pinot Nero. So the main grape is Pinot Nero (85-100%) with permission to use local, non-aromatic red grapes (0-15%).
The wine is a dark ruby red that becomes nearly granite with age. It has a delicate and characteristic aroma, together with a dry and harmonious taste.
The mandatory aging period is 2 years, of which a minimum of 6 months must be in oak barrels.

Did you know?
That Italy in 2011 was the worlds largest wine producer?
If you envision Sicily as an independent country, it would have the world’s seventh largest wine production, but despite the large quantities, the quality is high and steadily increasing. Today, Sicily has Italy’s third-largest wine production, and the island’s wine is Southern Italy’s most stable in terms of quality.
