The
DELIZIA DEL CONTE red comes from round top vineyards
in the following varieties:
80% cabernet and 20% Nero d'Avola.

Dedicated to the Count Gio'
Bosio Sturzo, the artist of the family, it's the only
international wine produced by the Estate.
At frist it features softness and persistence of the
wrapping aroma.
Varietal notes of both tendrils stand out, in perfect
agreement with the inklings of red berries and jams.
The color is ruby red with garnet reflexes.
Balanced to the taste, wide and extremely long, it closes
with inklings of vanilla and toasted, acquired from the
barrique, which to harmonize it.
The espalier vineyards, placed at 80 meters a.s.l., are
cultivated in spurred cordon, with a yield inferior to 5.0
tonnes per hectar.
The fermentation of the Cabernet and the Nero d'Avola are
separate, the first with a maceration of 20 days, the second
with a maceration of 12 days.
The blending is done directely in the barrique where it will
refine for 12 months.
