Description
The Wine:
The perfect everyday red with some meat on its bones. Deep ruby color with aromas of black cherry, plum, and subtle spice. Dark fruited, full of roasted cherries and plums, and some chocolatey, coffee-like notes underneath, this is a great bargain banger!
A full-bodied Sicilian red which captures the classic qualities of the Nero d’Avola grape; and Nero d’Avola encompasses the essence of Sicily’s volcanic soils and coastal climate. Dense and dark, with flavours of ripe, almost cooked, black cherries and plums. The nose and palate are spicy, with notes of liquorice and soft, earthy tannins. The palate is structured yet approachable, balancing freshness and richness. A wine that lingers on the finish, with hints at coffee and bitter chocolate rounding it out.
Produced from hand-harvested, organically farmed grapes, Fermented in stainless steel with partial barrel ageing, the wine combines ripe fruit intensity with polished tannins. Tule is an authentic Sicilian red, reflecting its sun-drenched vineyards and traditional varietal character.
There is no addition of sulphur, no fining and no filtration.
The Maker:
At Cantine Rallo the aim is to innovate but still to uphold and respect local tradition and heritage. Rallo’s philosophy of production is grounded in respect for natural cycles, upheld through rigorously certified organic practices that exclude synthetic chemicals. The vineyards and olive groves are cared for mainly by skilled, fairly compensated hands, ensuring both meticulous attention to detail and excellence in the final product.
The Rallo winery has a history stretching back more than a hundred years in the Trapani area of Western Sicily. Founded in 1860 by Don Diego Rallo, the winery spent much of its history focused on producing Marsala-style wines. With the waning popularity of Marsala, the original winery was forced to close in the late 1980s. Fortunately, in 1997, the Vesco family stepped in and restarted operations, focusing on producing dry, unfortified wines. Since then, Rallo has gone from strength to strength – achieving organic certification in 2007 and concentrating on producing terroir-specific wines from indigenous varieties. These two eras are distinct — shaped by different times, philosophies, and products — yet together they tell the story of a brand that has remained true to its land while continuously evolving.
Biodiversity is carefully maintained at the estate, and cultivation is carried out predominantly under dry-farming conditions, relying on natural rainfall.
Rallo proposes a vison of uncompromising quality, genuine environmental sustainability, and strong cultural identity sustain one another in a virtuous circle, generating value for all involved. Every Rallo wine is crafted in strict harmony with the natural cycle of the seasons. Each bottle offers complete traceability—revealing the precise vineyard plot from which the grapes were harvested, the vintage with its unique climatic traits, and the enological choices that guided the winemaking. And every wine, without exception, is certified organic.
