Maldafrica denotes an "inner longing for a distant land" and is not love at first sight, but it is one of the most interesting wines of Sicily.
Taste Profile: Maldafrica overwhelms the senses with dark fruits, spices, chopped herbs, salty notes, sulphur, leather and damp tobacco. Its mouthfeel is over a minute long and its acidity provides the perfect amount of astringency to refresh the senses for all its opulence.
Fontane,Vittoria (RG), South-Eastern Sicily. Grown organically on red soil, medium consistency, formed of sub-apennine sands of Pliocene origin, of limestone-siliceous nature, interwoven with compact layers of fresh clay and siliceous sand.
Winemaking Process: Spontaneous in terracotta amphorae, on the skins with indigenous yeasts. Aged in Slavonian barrels and bottle.
Powerful modern reds with the ability to age. They tend to be very intense, with ripe fruit, firm tannins & drinkability either young or cellared.
They often have notes of forest floor, blackcurrant, mint & eucalyptus
