"Hierà" Rosso Terre Siciliane IGT 2021

The base blend consists of Calabrese, better known as Nero d'Avola, and undoubtedly the Sicilian native grape variety par excellence, Alicante and Nocera. We are talking about one of Hauner's most representative wines, the Hierà Rosso, IGP Terre Siciliane. A red of good character and territoriality, this wine is the result of super careful processing of grapes harvested by hand at the right degree of ripeness. In the winery, vinification begins with a long maceration on the skins, followed by fermentation and ageing in temperature-controlled steel tanks. After bottling, the wine then rests in the cellar for at least 4 months before taking its way to the market. In the glass it has a beautiful intense ruby colour with purple reflections. The nose is rich in aromas, characterised by excellent intensity and elegant notes. Red fruits, a delicate sweet spiciness of tobacco and cocoa to almost clay-like notes. In the mouth, it is broad and velvety. Gritty, with lovely sweet tannins, the right savouriness and a good alcohol content. A wine that clearly manifests 'all the sunshine that only the island of Vulcano can express'. On the table it calls for slightly spicy dishes. For those who want to experiment with a territorial and unconventional combination, fresh tuna with caper sauce is simply "the death of it"!
