Nadir Sicilia DOC

Terroir and wine-making

Syrah grapes grow in the ideal terroir of the area of Camporeale, in the province of Palermo, at 450 meters above sea level. They are harvested in mid-September when they reach the right ripening and immediately subjected to a cold pre-maceration of about 3 days, to then pass through maceration on skins at a controlled temperature of 25°C. The wine is partly aged in Allier barrique and matured entirely in steel for 12 months. The process ends with further refinement in bottle.

Notes of taste

Syrah Nadir Tenuta Rapitalà is dressed in intense ruby red with violet reflections. The nose releases the classic aromas of ripe fruit and spices accompanied by sweet hints of vanilla. On the palate it is full and reveals delicate and finely balanced tannins.

Wine at the table

The Nadir Tenuta Rapitalà is great to accompany dishes of red meat, game and aged cheeses. The recommended service temperature is 18°C.

Curiosity

The name Nadir comes from the Arabic Nazir which means deep, rare and precious. The name of the estate is also of Arabic origin: Rapitalà has a meaning that can be traced back to the stream that flows through the vineyards.
