FEUDO AGRICOLO RUDINI' - C.DA CAMPO REALE SNC 96018 PACHINO (SR)
Nero d'Avola is certainly not a grape that needs any introduction. It is, in fact, one of the most representative grape varieties of our South and one of the island's main red varieties. Native to Sicily, it has been cultivated in this region for centuries. Its name recalls that of the city of Avola, located on the south-eastern coast of the island. Sicily DOC, this Campanile proposed by Rudinì is made from a pure processing of Nero d'Avola grapes from the Pachino area, nowadays known mainly for its tomatoes but once the land of choice for this grape. Its harmonious body and bursting character are its hallmarks. Brilliant ruby red in colour, the nose reveals a velvety bouquet with distinct hints of well-ripened red and dark fruit. In the mouth it is pleasant and well balanced. A robust, full-bodied and rightly tannic wine, it reveals good structure and pleasant acidity. It goes well with meat dishes such as roasts, steaks and lamb. Excellent with hard cheeses and cured meats.
Long before the advent of the cherry tomato, the Pachino area was characterised by the green expanses of bush-trained vineyards. And the story of Saro Di Pietro, the 'cantiniere', founder of the Rudinì winery, is linked to this very land. In 1969, Saro was a must seller. As a taster, sitting at the 'scagno' in the central square of Pachino, he judged the musts of local winemakers which, once 'promoted', could take the road to northern Italy where they were used to enrich local wines. In 1972, Saro Di Pietro bought the Rudinì palmento from Count Corrado Moncada di Paternò and built a modern wine cellar there, focusing everything on Nero d'Avola. A more than apt choice, we might say today.... After all, Pachino has always been considered the cradle of Nero d'Avola and an area of origin of great red wines. An area that enjoys absolutely unique pedoclimatic conditions. Located at the southernmost point of Europe, at the southernmost tip of Sicily, facing the Mediterranean and the African coast. Rudinì draws its grapes from over 200 hectares of the most qualified vineyards around Pachino. In addition to the prince of Sicilian wines, Nero d'Avola, the Rudinì wine range includes Chardonnay, Inzolia, Syrah and Merlot. International grape varieties that have, however, found an optimal habitat in Sicily.
