Nose:
It affords marvelous and intense scents of cherries soaked in alcohol, blackcurrants and bilberries that alternate with hints of chocolate, pepper, blond tobacco, and cloves set against a balmy and minty backdrop.

Taste:
Fleshy and dense, it overwhelms the taste buds with sure confidence seducing them with the great fruity body, vibrant and powerful acidity and an array of noble, extremely fine, soft and caressing tannins. The hallmark of a warm and fascinating Mediterranean wine with an almost regal elegance; so juicy, delightful and smooth that you can almost bite into it; it lingers unceasingly and immaculately; it is a perfect symphony of four of Sicily’s best grapes.

Food pairing:
It matches well with tasty and structured dishes like roast pork liver, lasagna with veal ragout, penne with eggplant and sausage, stewed kidney, roe with bilberries, baked stuffed turkey. Its softness makes perfect with firm-bodied cheeses aged at least a few months.
