More questions
Pure Nero d'Avola already over 6 years old. Produced through spontaneous fermentation in cement tanks, with a 10-day maceration. It is subsequently divided into two parts, one of which is aged for a year in barrels and the remaining part in steel, and then mixed.
Intense ruby red colour, with enveloping and penetrating hints of berries. On the sip, after a long decantation, it has a long persistence with soft tannins and an excellent balance of acidity which makes it a truly appreciated wine.
Stupendous red glass, combined with slow and complex dinners.

The story
Sources link the Spadafora group to historical roots in the Donnici area. The family's origins are cited as dating back to 1915 and, over time, production was moved to a more modern facility in Mangone. The winery has evolved while remaining family-run and investing in winemaking technologies.
Production philosophy
The pursuit of quality through the integration of local tradition and modern production methods: grape selection, control of fermentation temperatures, maturation in stainless steel and wood to enhance varietal characteristics.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards and production facilities are located in the hills around Donnici and in the Mangone area, Calabria. The winery is part of the local wine production scene and of the Brutium wine and food routes.
