TASTING NOTES Color: deep dark ruby red with purplish hues.Nose: marvelous scents of cherry, prunes, mulberries, blackberries, and blackcurrants stand out followed by a duet with fine hints of rhubarb, cinchona, pepper, tobacco, nutmeg, and dark chocolate entwined with nuances of minerals and undergrowth.Palate: power, elegance, lively tannins, matchless softness, freshness, all blended into a balanced and harmonious whole that overwhelms the palate seducing with its limpidity and extraordinary persistence and polish typical of a great wine.Characteristics: it is blessed with the fortunate fate of the best, of those who win awards and prizes and who others often try to vainly copy; it is a due tribute of love and respect for Nero d’Avola, Sicily’s greatest red grape, which achieves its climax in this interpretation.
