Disco Volante "Italian disco space blend" 2022 SA

Dolcetto/Aglianico/Nero d'Avola  

Disco Volante is the Italian transaltion for UFO and this juicy number gave us plenty of Alien disco vibes when we were putting it together.

The idea was a lighter fresher style of wine that still has plenty of interest and complexity. The Dolcetto is the biggest component at 48% and provides red fruit and vibrancy. Next up we have 35% of Carbonic Macerated Aglianico. Aglianico is one of our favourite varieties for flavour but can have some pretty harsh tannins so we used carbonic maceration to soften things up a bit. This provides the midpalate with plenty of juicy, juicy fruit. The backbone and structure of the wine is Nero d'Avola that spent a year resting in old french oak. Lots of dark fruit and spice rounds out the wine and makes for the perfect Italo Disco Space blend. 

Allora! who really cares about all that. This is a fun wine. Drink it with friends, pump the italian disco and have a little party in your kitchen.
