Cellaro
Cellaro is a modern producer operating under the umbrella of the Farnese group. It is situated near Sambuca, in the Belice Valley. In 2016 Sambuca was officially acknowledged as the most beautiful small village in Italy. Sambuca, originally founded by ancient Greek colonists, rose to regional prominence as a trading hub after invading Arab Muslims took over around 830, just a few years after landing in Sicily. It was called Zabuth, in remembrance of the emir Zabut ("The Splendid One") Al-Arab, who built a castle at that place, on the slopes of Mount Genuardo.
Description
Deep and impenetrable ruby red colour. Explosively fragrant on the nose, with well integrated overtones of red fruit and ripe blackberry, oriental spices, pink pepper and leather. On the palate, Cellaro Nero d'Avola Nerello Mascalese Due Lune is warm, with ripe tannins that perfectly balance its natural residual sugars and fresh texture. Powerful and long lasting on the aftertaste.
Food Pairing
Cellaro Nero d'Avola Nerello Mascalese Due Lune is excellent with pasta with rich sauces, roast meats, venison and mature cheeses.
