Winemaking & maturation
Style
Grapes
Southeastern Sicily in red and pink, with Nero d’Avola, Frappato and Perricone.
Nero d’Avola.
Dark cherry, plum and savoury spice, from supple to more concentrated wines.
Flowers, red berries and a bright, delicate tannin structure.
Perricone.
Dark berries and herbal spice with a firmer, savoury finish.
Frappato, Nero d’Avola and Perricone.
Red berries and flowers with a fresh, gently textured palate; the blend varies.
Eloro takes its name from an ancient settlement near the coast. Pachino identifies a red-wine subzone; Perricone may appear as Pignatello, and Frappato offers a lighter, fragrant route into the DOC.
Eloro DOC. 1 wine in Belgium.
