Corbello

Grape Varieties:	Nero D'Avola 100%
Background:	The Curatolo family has been producing excellent Marsala and creditable wine for over a century. Since the 1999 vintage, Albert Antonini has acted as a consultant to the Curatolos and brought with him the modern winemaking skills that allow the varieties to express their maximum potential.
Vineyard Location:	Produced from selected grapes grown in two different vineyards, one near Marsala and the other in central Sicily. The grapes from the former region, normally an area regarded as being cool for Nero d'Avola, have given vibrancy and an aromatic dimension to the wine, while the latter, a hotter, drier zone, provides the color, weight and structure.
Winemaking:	Antonini carefully chose the fruit and used both refrigeration and inert gas to preserve and protect the flavors that had accumulated under the hot Sicillan sun. Oak aged for 3 months.
Description:	Deep colored. Ripe and peppery on the nose. Full and fleshy on the palate.
