Litra 2017 Sicily DOC Biodynamic red wine - Abbazia Santa Anastasia

Litra 2017 Abbazia Santa Anastasia Sicilia Doc Biodynamic red wine

The Litra of Abbazia Santa Anastasia is a pure Cabernet Sauvignon, a varietal expression of a unique territory that makes it unforgettable.

With an impenetrable ruby ​​red color, the nose is told with various aromas of green pepper and then balsamic with hints of thyme, juniper, mallow to continue between a harmony of vanilla, coffee, white chocolate, cocoa, licorice and an unexpected complicity floral violet and rose hip.

Sicilian wine with great personality, powerful, austere. It is pulpy, dense with fruit and elegant, with dense and refined tannins that are perfectly smooth. Its structure set with a territorial freshness makes it almost timeless. Harmonious on notes of jam, crunchy pepper, persuasive cocoa, vanilla, nutmeg ... with an almost infinite persistence!

Exciting with meat-based main courses and semi-aged cheeses. Unique to accompany even slightly bitter dark chocolate.
