Feudo Principi di Butera Merlot Sicilia Calat 2000

Feudo Principi di Butera Merlot Sicilia Calat 2000

Opulent intense garnet red. Exciting, complex bouquet with perfectly integrated nuances of small red fruits, blackberries and black currants as well as pleasant vanilla and cocoa tones. Soft, elegant and well structured on the palate, perfect balance between sustainable wild berries (mainly raspberries and blackberries) and spice nuances.

The name Calat, in Arabic 'Castle', refers to the fortifications built to protect an Islamic-Sicilian settlement after the capture of Sicily by the Arabs in 827.
The grapes for this wine were selected manually in August. The fermentation took place for 3 weeks in temperature-controlled steeltanks. The wine was aged for one year in oak barrels and then 6 months in bottle.

Critical Acclaim

90 Wine Enthusiast

Thick, dark concentration sets the tone for this expressive wine redolent of cherry or strawberry preserves, dried figs, tobacco, leather, licorice and tar. Yes, bottle aging has done this wine well. Figs flavors appear once again in the mouth where the wine proves to be textured, heavy and persistent.
