Vrucara - Nero d'Avola 2011

Vrucara is the name of the cru from which the grapes hail. The name has its origins in a vineyard of which the land has always been called "Vrucara." It takes this name due to the presence of vruca, a Sicilian word for a bush that grows spontaneously around the vineyard. This herb has aromas of menthol mixed with those of incense oil. Transferred into the old, unique vines, we notice this aroma in the wine.
