Currivo Rosso Terre Siciliane IGP 2021

The Marilina Currivu Rosso is made from a blend of Nero d’Avola and Merlot made from grapes hand-harvested from vineyards in the San Lorenzo District of south eastern Sicily. Juicy and fruit forward, the wine was vinified and aged in concrete tanks for 8 months. On the nose, it has a strong fragrance of dark cherries and plum jam, as well as hints of spices and herbs. On the palate, it is juicy, big and bold; with strong tannins and a lingering finish.

Their philosophy is simple: absolute respect for the earth. The climate in Sicily works to their advantage in making wine with as little intervention as possible. Their modern approach is combined with traditional winemaking techniques such as concrete tanks, drying grapes out in the sun and extended skin maceration for the white wines.

“Currivu indicates, in Italian, the stubborn man convinced of his own Ideas. Stubbornness and conviction to do things right without adding and without taking away.”
