DESCRIPTION
Two grape varieties, two moments of the same vintage. Nero d’Avola is harvested in the second week of September when temperatures begin to be milder, while the Merlot is harvested in the second week of August, when the intense sunlight kisses the surrounding coasts. A red wine of great intensity and structure, at the same time soft and enveloping. Nero d’Avola and Merlot live together in a perfect balance.
A ruby red with violet hues. A rich aroma of red fruits such as currants, black cherry, wild berries and sweet spices characterize this wine. The fruit and the velvety tannins expresses in the mouth a good texture, with a pleasant acidity and a good flavor. It perceives its tannic youth that makes it long and full, but also lovable.
