The sublime expression of an exuberantly luxuriant territory, this is a wine with the austere, complex, yet cultivated and playful, spirit of the Sicilian people. Its very powerful, elegant sensory profile derives from the marriage of two grapes that more than any others embody this personality: Nero d’Avola and Syrah.
Sensory profile and impressions
Almost impenetrably deep red; compelling nose that unfolds ripe red and black berry fruits followed by threads of dark, liquorice and tobacco spiciness backed up by refreshing balsam; the palate is an excitingly harmonious counterpoint of power and agility, setting warmth off against freshness, roundness against energy and breadth against depth in a succession of sensations that drive through to a long finale where the aromatics of both varieties emerge again in all their richness and complexity.
Food matchings
A red of such imposing personality that it demands equally serious foods, such as the meat dishes of the Sicilian tradition from lamb to kid, mutton and pork prepared in the appropriate styles with particularly succulent stuffings. Excellent with very mature or tangy cheeses.
