Odour: It presents with concentrated and well-defined shades of marasca, berries, rhubarb, cloves of carnation, aromatic herbs and plum, which twist and intersect with fascinating smells of liquorice, ink and tobacco leaves.

Palato: Soave, soft and carefree, displays his great personality of strongly Mediterranean footprints combining with admirable harmony a powerful and exuberant fabric, extraordinary taste buds, velvety tannins and rare nobility.

Characteristics: It is a wine that has made the history of modern Sicilian oenology, always appreciated on all international markets, complex and of superior character, of immense drinkability and pleasure, from the almost "carnoso" fruit, an outlet of its category.

Combinations: Its versatility makes it an ideal companion of dishes such as lasagna in the oven filled with raspberries, veal fillet with wild mushrooms, wild boar in humidity, hare in brine, pork ribs with plums. Excellent combination with seasoned cheeses, with which it talks well because of its unparalleled softness.
