WINE REGION:
Sicily / Sicilia
Even among Italy's diverse wine regions, Sicily offers something unique. Abundant sunshine, varied volcanic terroirs, cool coastal breezes and drying African winds make it a perfect place for growing vines. The island is home to many indigenous grape varieties, featuring reds such as Sangiovese, Nero d'Avola and Frappato, and popular white varieties including Vermentino, Catarratto and Zibibbo. As the largest island in the Mediterranean, Sicily's position between Europe, Africa and the Levant has long made it a strategic location. The Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Normans and Arabs have all at various times controlled Sicily, and left their mark on its 4,000-year-old winemaking tradition.

TASTING NOTES:
Cherry
Strawberry
Vanilla
Vanilla and sea spray serve as a sweet and salty aromatic introduction to this blend. Merlot brings a plump, juicy weight while Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon build the palate’s tannic backbone. Confected strawberry and cherry join chocolate-like characteristics leading to a chalky finish.
