Sicilia DOC 2018 - Cantine HORUS "Corda Pazza"

SICILIA DOC 2018 "CORDA PAZZA"

ORGANIC WINE

Corda Pazza, name inspired by the famous essay on Sicily and "Sicilitude" by Leonardo Sciascia, comes from the extraordinary encounter between the Sicilian native vines Frappato, Nero D'Avola and Syrah grapes.

The surprising blend gives life to a ruby ​​red with violet reflections, with an intense and fruity aroma that recalls the hints of morello plum with a background of berries, iquirice and chocolate. Corda Pazza is full, warm and rightly tannic on the palate.
