Rare red blend of indigenous grapes from Sicily

Both grapes are known for their bright red and crunchy fruit flavours and that’s certainly what you get here. Raspberry, sweet strawberry, pomegranate, cranberry and baked cherries lead the attack in a lean, light-bodied style with high acidity. Earthy with some vanilla, blueberry and black plum notes all cloaked in exotic spices of cardamon and clove.
