Información sobre este vino:
Secondo di Castello Solicchiata es un vino tinto de la bodega Feudi Barone Spitaleri, una joya vinícola que rinde homenaje a la tradición bordelesa en las laderas del majestuoso Etna. Este vino, con una graduación alcohólica de 14%, se elabora con una meticulosa selección de uvas: 80% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon y 10% Merlot, cultivadas en las terrazas volcánicas a 800 metros sobre el nivel del mar. La vinificación se realiza en tinas de madera francesas durante 3-4 semanas, seguida de un envejecimiento de 24 meses en barricas de segunda mano y 36 meses en botella, lo que confiere al vino una complejidad y elegancia excepcionales.
In the glass, Secondo di Castello Solicchiata shows a noble garnet-red color, a reflection of its maturation and of the volcanic terroir that welcomes it. On the nose, it unfolds a fascinating intensity with aromas of ripe black fruits, such as plums and blackberries, intertwined with spicy notes of licorice and a balsamic touch that evokes the freshness of Mediterranean herbs. The mineral character of the volcanic soil is perceived subtly, adding an earthy dimension that enriches the bouquet.
On the palate, this wine shows itself to be dense and elegant, with well-integrated tannins that provide a silky texture. Balanced acidity brings freshness and length to the palate, while the persistent aftertaste leaves a lasting impression of black fruits and sweet spices. It’s a wine that invites reflection and unhurried enjoyment, ideal for pairing with red meats, game dishes, and cured cheeses.
