Principe N Bio 2023 is an organic red wine made from 100% Nero d’Avola, grown in the vineyards of Contrada Virzì in Monreale, Palermo.

Ruby red in colour, it offers an enveloping, intense aromatic profile with wild berry notes and a long aromatic persistence. On the palate, it is distinguished by its soft tannins.

Winemaking involves spontaneous fermentation from a pied de cuve of the estate’s grapes, without added sulphur dioxide, in concrete tanks. Maceration lasts up to 8 days at a controlled temperature. The wine then ages for 12 months in concrete followed by 4 months in bottle.
