{"product_id":"perricone-njuro-il-censo-paolo-bea-sicily-italy-natural-wine","title":"Perricone Njuro 2015","description":"\u003cp\u003eIl Censo Njuro is made from 100% Perricone, a native Sicilian red grape also called Pignatello, grown organically at 700 meters altitude on an undulating volcanic outcropping outside the hamlet of Bivona in south-central Sicily, near Palazzo Adriano. The 5-hectare vineyard belongs to the Gargano family estate, which has been in the family (through the Spoto line) for over 200 years. Vines are planted via massale selection and trained in Guyot, with yields controlled through severe winter pruning and debudding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name Njuro comes from the local dialect term \"njuro cane,\" meaning black dog, a nickname for the Perricone grape. Grapes are harvested manually in October, destemmed and crushed, then fermented spontaneously on indigenous yeasts for two to three weeks without temperature control. The wine is neither fined nor filtered before bottling, with minimal to no added sulfur.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinemaking at Il Censo follows the non-interventionist principles developed by Giampiero Bea, who serves as winemaking consultant here. The property is certified organic across all agricultural activities, including an old olive grove now producing unfiltered extra virgin olive oil. This is a Terre Siciliane IGT, the island-wide IGT designation covering wines that fall outside Sicily's stricter DOC framework.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2015 vintage delivers deep garnet color with earthy dark fruit, sour cherry, raspberry, fennel, and herbaceous notes that are unusual for southern Italian reds of this weight. The wine opens further with air, revealing smoky and floral complexity alongside firm but integrated tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Il Censo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":14082654994487,"sku":"CENSNJUR15C","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/files\/perricone-njuro-il-censo-paolo-bea-sicily-italy-natural-wine.jpg?v=1780665439","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/perricone-njuro-il-censo-paolo-bea-sicily-italy-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
