Scurò

Nero d’Avola

\\ Sicilia DOC

€13.29

Scurò takes its name from the exact moment the sun sets and gives way to night. A precise image that perfectly describes the character of this Nero d’Avola: deep, enveloping, capable of holding both light and darkness simultaneously.

It is a wine that interprets the grape variety in a direct and contemporary way, without excesses. Stainless steel vinification preserves the freshness and identity of Nero d’Avola, while a brief passage in third-use barriques adds complexity without overpowering the fruit.
A precise stylistic choice: to enhance the grape variety, not transform it.

Packaging: 750ml bottles are shipped in cardboard packaging.

Tasting Notes

On the nose, it is rich and enveloping, with ripe red fruits — cherry, plum and blackberry — unfolding alongside sweet hints of vanilla, cocoa and spices, while the fruit remains at the forefront. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with soft, well-integrated tannins that support a generous and persistent finish.

The Territory

Scurò originates from two districts of the estate — Judeca and San Giacomo — where Nero d’Avola thrives on different soils that work in synergy. The clay-rich soils of Judeca provide structure and depth, while the sandy soils of San Giacomo add freshness and aromatic precision. The south/south-west exposure, at an altitude of 350–400 metres above sea level, maximises grape ripening during Butera’s dry summers, giving the wine all the concentration and warmth of its terroir.

Aging

6 months in third-use oak barriques, 6 months in stainless steel tanks, followed by 5 months in bottle.

Further Details

At the Table

Scurò is a red wine made for hearty meat dishes. It pairs naturally with mixed grilled meats, braised meats, stews and game. It is equally at home with aged hard cheeses and classic dishes of Sicilian cuisine, from pasta alla Norma with salted ricotta to oven-roasted lamb with aromatic herbs. Its tannic structure also makes it an ideal match for dishes featuring porcini mushrooms and truffles.

Scurò is the wine of the blue hour, that moment between sunset and nightfall when the light changes and everything seems sharper. It is uncorked when the day has ended and the evening has yet to begin, in that fleeting moment that belongs only to those who know how to recognise it.
