SOIL TYPE
The soils of the area of our Nero are characterized above all by a sandy texture, with a moderate presence of fine skeleton and a medium depth. At about 90 cm there is a clay layer, essential for soil water retention and to ensure an adequate balance of water to the vine.
VINEYARD SOIL
On the hills surrounding the archaeological site of San Mauro, the grapes for our Nero come to life. It’s a perfect setting, where the altitude, sunlight, and constant breeze allow the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly. Each grape is carefully selected to preserve the aromas and balance that make this wine unique and recognizable.
ABV
14.0% vol.
PAIRING
Perfect with rich and flavorful dishes, such as grilled meats, which bring out its smoky notes.
Its smoothness pairs wonderfully with tasty sauces and traditional dishes like boiled meats and offal.
WINEMAKING
The vinification of Nero Alchemico takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, with about 8 days of maceration ideal for extracting intense aromas, deep color, and a rich, full structure. The result is a wine with a bold character and a Mediterranean soul. A harmonious and long-lasting red that sincerely reflects the warmth and richness of its homeland. Alcoholic fermentation includes short pump-overs 2–3 times a day, to gently treat the grape skins and enhance the wine’s complexity.
ORGANOLETIC NOTES
Nero Alchemico is the wine of night and mystery intense and magnetic like the moon, which lights without revealing.
Its color is a deep red. On the nose, notes of plum, blackberry, and black cherry blend with hints of leather, tobacco, cocoa, and exotic spices. On the palate, it is powerful and full-bodied, with firm tannins and a long, velvety finish. Made from grapes grown at Tenuta Samoro, this is a wine that seduces slowly like a secret whispered softly.
It originates from meticulous viticulture, in the heart of Sicily at its most authentic.
A wine that invites you to listen, to silence and to discover yourself.

Together, they create a perfect balance between nostalgia and renewal, between sweetness and strength like the past fading away and the future taking shape. It’s almost like a love story: Rosso Velato is the passion that softens but stays in the heart, while Nero Alchemico is the rebirth, the change, the next chapter.
