Region: Italy, Sambuca Di Sicilia AG
Grape variety: Nero d`Avola Biologico
Winemaking process: After a very long fermentation with skin contact to extract colour, body and aromas, the wine is pressed. 50% of the wine is aged in barriques and 50% in concrete tanks for about 6 months, where it undergoes malolactic fermentation. The wine is then bottled to preserve the fruit flavours.
Tasting notes: Deep ruby in colour, the bouquet is full of red and dark fruits, spicy and balsamic with eucalyptus hints. Notes of oak are present but this is a fruit full body wine with very long aftertaste.

Grape variety: Nero Mascalese
Background: Luma’s Nero d’Avola wears a friendly purple robe and elicits a smile from the moment it’s poured. For starters, a reassuring aroma complete with the scents of fresh berries, earth, and herbs, seeps from the glass to delight the nose. And in the mouth, Luma’s round, balanced mélange of fruit and earth grace the palate, before exiting gracefully with a nod and a smile. Neither massive nor complex, this Nero d’Avola doesn’t bully its way to the top; it charms its way with exceptional balance and eminent drinkability.
Tasting notes: A rich, juicy and ripe medium-bodied red from sunny Sicily with black cherry fruit and lifted black pepper notes.
