Feudo Maccari

Aromas of warm, dark fruits, fruit-forward with wild cherry and damson, chewy tannins and fresh acidity.

Producer Information

Located in Noto on Sicily’s south-eastern tip near the town of Avola, Feudo Maccari is owned by Antonio Moretti Cuseri with his daughter Monica. Feudo Maccari produce a portfolio of elegant and well-structured wines, grown from perfectly selected vines on limestone rich and windy terroir.

Wine Making

The Nero d`Avola vines (average age 10-30 years) grow around 80m above sea level on a south-facing site. They are all `albarello` (head-trained) bush vines - which are particularly suited to hot and windy climates. The grapes undergo 15 days of maceration and fermentation with regular punching-down of the cap. The wine is matured in stainless steel.

Tasting Note

Aromas of warm, ripe dark fruits with black cherry, plum and tarry, smoky notes. The palate is generous and fruit-forward with wild cherry and damson notes combining with spicy, dried fruit characters. Ripe, chewy tannins and fresh acidity give good structure, with an attractive bitter twist on the finish.

Food Matching

Great with full-flavoured meats such as roasts and game.
