Tenute Orestiadi Il Rosso di Ludovico Riserva 2021

Tenute Orestiadi Il Rosso di Ludovico Riserva 2021 is an iconic Sicilian red that brings together the native character of Nero d’Avola and the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon. Born from the distinctive Vigneto di Ludovico, it reflects the warm, contrasting climate of Sicily and the estate’s belief that exceptional vineyards can turn challenging conditions into wines of real personality.

Tasting Notes
Deep and expressive in the glass, this Riserva is expected to show a dark ruby core with enticing aromatic intensity. The nose typically leans toward ripe black fruit, Mediterranean herbs, spice, and subtle earthy or balsamic nuances, while the palate combines the generosity of Nero d’Avola with Cabernet Sauvignon’s backbone and grip. The result is a wine that feels rich, enveloping, and direct, yet remains polished and elegant. With its layered structure and balanced concentration, it should have the capacity to evolve beautifully over time, gaining complexity and finesse with cellar ageing.

Production
Produced in Sicily from Nero d’Avola and Cabernet Sauvignon, Il Rosso di Ludovico comes from the carefully managed Vigneto di Ludovico, a site shaped by strong contrasts in climate and well suited to preserving freshness and varietal integrity. The estate’s approach emphasizes thoughtful vineyard management and selecting the right harvest conditions to capture full ripeness without losing elegance.
