Bordeaux made in Sicily from a selection of the best grapes from the company's vineyards. A powerful red, built on a dense and important tannic structure, balanced by a strong alcohol content. The flavor is centered on a very dense, pulpy ripe fruitiness. The flavors are those of blueberries and black cherries in alcohol, mixed with leather, while intense aromas of cherries, cocoa, iodine, and rosemary gradually emerge.

A bold, decisive, and energetic wine to be enjoyed on its own or paired with dishes of equal strength and character, such as stews or game meats. For a vegetarian alternative, try grilled radicchio with aged cheese or roasted, almost caramelized onions.
