Luna Sicana – A’ Zita Cu Zitu – Nero d’Avola – Sicilia DOC – Red – 2021:

 

The Sicilian King: Luna Sicana Nero D’Avola “A Zita Cu Zitu”

The Nero D’Avola “A Zita Cu Zitu” is a remarkable organic red wine from the prestigious Luna Sicana estate in Sicily. This DOC Sicilia showcases the opulent character of the Nero d’Avola grape, grown in the sun-drenched, clay-calcareous vineyards near Casteltermini. The traditional winemaking process, combined with organic farming, ensures a wine of exceptional purity and depth.

Sommelier’s Notes: A Mediterranean Masterpiece

• Colour: Intense, deep ruby red.
• Aroma: Richly perfumed, offering a medley of dark forest fruits-black cherry, blackcurrant, and plum-complemented by sophisticated notes of spice, tobacco leaf, and a touch of sweet vanilla from its 10-month tenure in French oak.
• Taste: A full and satisfying mouthfeel with a powerful core of fruit. The tannins are well-integrated and silky, providing excellent structure and a backbone of freshness. The finish is long, complex, and memorable.

This wine is a true reflection of Sicilian terroir, offering a premium experience comparable to a top New World Shiraz but with an undeniable Italian elegance. Perfect for a special occasion or adding to your cellar.

Food Matching & Decanting

This robust red is built for rich, hearty cuisine. We recommend decanting for an hour before serving at a cellar temperature of 16-18°C.

• Suggested Pairings: Slow-cooked beef, game dishes, and rich, flavourful pasta ragùs.
