It is the perfect glass for light and medium-bodied red wines; these wines do not require prolonged contact with oxygen to best enhance their bouquet. Indeed, a slightly narrower opening of the glass is recommended: this helps the concentration and the direction of the aromas towards the nose. In this way, the perception of the aromas is increased, enhancing the sensations.
Tenuta Rapitala, situated in Sicily in the area of Camporeale, is made up of 70 acres of which 28 are vineyard. It extends over the gentle hills between 100 – 300 meters high, where clay and sand alternate and merge. The perfect aspect and the special composition of the soil make it ideal for the cultivation of the finest vine varieties. The winery Rapitala is named for the river that runs through the property.
Wine Advocate: The organic 2021 Sicilia Nero d'Avola Alto Reale puts the spotlight on primary fruit thanks to easy winemaking in stainless steel and partial oak aging. There is plump dark cherry, blackberry, olive and scorched earth in this wine...Bitter cherry fruit appears on the close. — Monica LarnerJames Suckling 91 points Aromas of baked plum, black cherry and black tea. Medium-to full-bodied with chalky tannins. Pleasantly ripe and juicy on the palate. Nice balance here, with a tasty finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.
