“Moretto”, Terre Siciliane Rosso
SKU AVMO
“Moretto” is Aldo’s longer-macerated red blend, comprised of 50% Nerello Mascalese and 40% Perricone from younger vineyards, and 10% Syrah from ancient bush vines. The three varieties are fermented separately with native yeasts, with the Syrah seeing the longest contact with the skin. Then 50% ages in stainless steel tanks and the other 50% in small used wooden barrels for 6 months. The wine is not filtered and only a small amount of sulfur dioxide is used. Medium-bodied and easy to drink, with red fruits, aromatic herbs and marine notes; on the palate it is juicy, rich and fresh, with true Mediterranean character.
About Aldo Viola
Born in the late 1960s into a winemaking family in Alcamo, in the northwest corner of Sicily, Aldo helped his father around the winery as a boy (as children of vignaioli are wont to do), but his path to becoming an iconoclastic producer in his own right was far from straight and narrow.
