Lumà Nero d'Avola

Terroir and wine-making

The terroir of Sambuca di Sicilia, in the province of Agrigento, is particularly inclined to exalt the qualities of the Sicilian grape par excellence. Nero d'Avola grapes grow in their ideal habitat in vineyards located between 300 and 600 meters above sea level. The harmony that is established between the wisdom of the winegrowers of the Cellaro winery and the uncontaminated nature, enhances the genuine notes of the wine for a result with remarkable organoleptic qualities. Once harvested, the grapes are macerated for 10-12 days at a controlled temperature, de-stemmed and cooled. After being pressed, they are placed in cool cement tanks, after which the wine passes through the barrique to carry out malolactic fermentation. Finally, the aging in French oak barrels for 6 months further enhances the delicious aromas.
