Delia Nivolelli Sangiovese Riserva is made from the same grapes as the unaged version. That is synonymous with Sangiovese (85-100%), with permission to use additional local red grapes (0-15%).
Even though Sangiovese can almost be viewed as belonging in Tuscany, it also yields interesting results in Sicily.
The color is ruby, almost orange, red because of the aging. The bouquet is vinous with a delicate aroma, together with a dry, balanced and exceedingly full body and a light tannic finish.
The mandatory aging period is 2 years, and can at the earliest begin January 1 of the year after the harvest.

Did you know?
That Italy in 2011 was the worlds largest wine producer?
So let’s just get one thing straight: at Lombardia (or Lombardy), Italy’s most populated and industrialized region, doesn’t exactly prioritize wine production. Actually, the combined output isn’t that significant, and what is produced is normally consumed locally, especially the wines from Oltrepò Pavese.
