TASTING NOTES
Color: bright and lively garnet red. Nose: full and complex bouquet that opens with extremely fine fruity hints of blueberries, raspberries and wild strawberries that make way to delicious hints of cherries and black cherry jam, cinnamon, cocoa, eucalyptus, mint and herbs of the Mediterranean maquis.
Palate: mouthfilling and soft, with great taste profile, thanks to marvelous and intact fruit, masterfully balanced with the lively fresh and dynamic acidity and lavish refined tannins.
Characteristics: for some time it has become a “cult” wine; an extraordinary Sicilian interpretation of the famous Bordeaux blend; rich, juicy, exciting, trepidant, compelling and noble like the marvelous and timeless legend it takes inspiration from.
