**#3 on Wine Enthusiast Top 100 Best Buys**
WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
An intensely vivid ruby color. On the nose aromas of redcurrant and mulberry with a slightly spicy and minty finish. In the mouth the wine demonstrates its fine personality with flavors of ripe wild fruits, balanced by a very pleasant full and herbal taste. The tannins are soft and smooth conferring a very versatile character to this red wine.
For daily drinking, it is ideal with Mediterranean pasta dishes and light meals of meat, vegetables or oily fish.
Blend: 50% Nero d’Avola, 25% Merlot, 20% Syrah, 5% Cabernet Franc
TASTING NOTES:
The nose of this wine alternates between smoky, spicy and sweet with red pepper, grilled meat, hibiscus and strawberries. Red berries on the palate enjoy the contrast of more pepper and ripe tomatoes. Tightly coiled tannins and vibrant acid keep tension high.
