Nero d'Avola grapes are left on the vines for a light withering and for natural dehydration to occur. They are late harvested and with extreme care placed in wooden cases. After a soft pressing the musts are fermented at a controlled temperature. The natural sweetness of the wines is obtained by interrupting the fermentation by dropping the temperature until it is too cold for fermentation to continue. The wine is then matured in steel tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"M\u0026S","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47876016799982,"sku":"STO-ITEM-2026-05344","price":33.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/0125\/9183\/files\/640x640_3c5cfd18-1751-4f8d-ab59-9689c14b1ffb.jpg?v=1775868107","url":"https:\/\/mcgrocer.com\/products\/virgin-wines-eghemon-passimiento-red-wine-75cl-m202605344","provider":"McGrocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
