Tasting notes: An intriguing wine with authentic and lively colors in the nuances. The Sicilian warmth can be seen from the slow fluidity and from the nose with a strong impact. Meticulous and defined in the smallest details, notes of raspberries, wild strawberries and currants, integrated and alternated with spicy sweet and peppery notes at the same time, which close the perfume. The wine enters the mouth in a decisive way, dry and warm, great enveloping but pricked by a significant freshness and strong tannins, which leave the taste clean and good.

Food pairing: Pecorino cheese from Monti Sikani, roast lamb with potatoes, grilled meat and sausage, pasta alla Norma with fried aubergines.
