This red delivers ample ripe, plummy fruits, hints of spice and liquorice. Deliciously supple and juicy, the delicately herbal, savoury notes make this the perfect partner for a variety of dishes, reflecting the "melting pot" culture of Sicily.

Harvested in the cool of the morning for maximum preservation of fresh fruit flavours. Gentle pressing in a pneumatic press followed by overnight cold maceration in order to extract all the aromatics from the grapes. Fermented at 18C in stainless steel, temperature controlled tanks. A small proportion of the wine (10%) is whole bunch fermented adding bright, fresh red fruit flavours to the finished wine. 5% of the wine was matured in barrel for 6 months.
