Nero d'Avola and Cabernet Sauvignon are fermended separately in stainless steel tanks with daily over pumping of the must. After the malolactic fermentation half of the Cabernet Sauvignon is matured in oak for a period of time to obtain the desired level of oak structure and then blended with the remaining part of the Cabernet Sauvignon. The two varietals are then blended together for the final cuvee of Crudo Nero d'Avola Cabernet Sauvignon.
