Merlot Syrah
Baglio del Sole
Feudi del Pisciotto
Two big international grape varieties that thrive in the Sicilian terroir. Characterized by a ruby red colour with purple hues. The wine displays a full and intense aroma, reminiscent of red fruits and sweet vanilla. Fresh, soft and balanced on the palate, with a complex finish with notes of cocoa and vanilla. A wine of great structure, without losing its elegance and drinkability.
