  This wine is a noble version of Nero d'Avola, with an impenetrable ruby red color. The enveloping bouquet embraces us with fruity, sweet and ripe scents with balsamic and floral notes of violet on slight tobacco accent at the close. Wine that shows great structure on the palate and remarkable personality. The alcohol blends into the soft tannins in a convincing balance. The taste-olfactory response is long and perfect.

  After 17y it looks perfect, for me one of the best interpretationsof Sicily wine. It's have an impenetrable ruby red color. Fruity, sweet and ripe scents with balsamic and floral notes of violet on a slight accent of tobacco at the end. Wine wich shows great structure to the taste and remarkable personality. The alcohol blends into the soft tannins in a convincing balance. Long and perfect ending.

  Sicily-Tasting, Flight 4, Wine 3: This wine was opaque dark ruby in colour and offered a stinky nose of dark fruit, sauerkraut and a hint of chocolate. On the palate the balanced, medium-bodied wine showed red and dark fruit, dark cherry and chocolate flavours as well as vegetal and mild herbal notes, with medium-level acidity, medium to medium-plus tannin and very good length. A solid red and there is not much to complain about, I am just thinking that at the same price one could get so many wines with more character...
