Ruby red color with light violet reflections, with a fragrant, intense, spicy and complex bouquet, rich in sensations with a well blended fruity and vanilla touch. On the palate it is rich, ample and velvety, with great structure and aromatic persistence, with elegant and gentle tannins.
GURGò
From the name of the district where Cantine Paolini has been producing its wines every day for over 50 years. Gurgò wines are born here, the perfect synthesis of a journey that has always followed the path of passion, work and tradition from the vineyards. A place where the presence of a basin with a sub-flat bottom of karstic origin welcomed the flow of water, giving fertility to the land.
Strictly DOC, Gurgò wines embrace the territoriality of Grillo, Nero D'avola, Frappato-Syrah, and the internationality of Viogner, Chardonnay. The Rosso Riserva is the bottled story of our journey of more than half a century.
Grapes: frappato (60%), syrah (40%)
Denomination: Sicily DOC
Soil: mixed, mainly calcareous
Vineyards: tree-trained
Harvest: by hand, between August and September
Vinification: the pressing of the grapes is soft and the alcoholic fermentation with maceration on the skins takes place at 27°C for about 11 days. Once the malolactic fermentation has taken place, the wine ages for at least 6 months in large, very fine-grained oak barrels and then moves into vitrified cement vats. The assembly takes place after aging in barrels. Refine 6 - 8 months in bottle to evolve the bouquet.
Organoleptic notes: ruby red color with light purplish reflections, with a fragrant, intense, spicy and complex bouquet, rich in sensations with a well blended fruity and vanilla touch. On the palate it is rich, ample and velvety, with great structure and aromatic persistence, with elegant and gentle tannins.
Pairings: particularly suitable to accompany soups, savory first courses, grilled meats and vegetables.
How to serve it: it gives its best in large goblets with a wide mouth and a good height and served at a temperature of 18°C
Alcohol content: 13.5 vol.
