Firriato Quater Vitis Rosso 2018

Quater Vitis Rosso encapsulates wine-rich Sicily in a glass. It is a blend of Nero d’Avola, Perricone and Frappato grapes grown on the Pianoro Cuddìa estate, with Nerello Cappuccio grapes grown on the Cavanera Estate at about 680 metres above sea level on Mount Etna.

Colour

Deep ruby with bright purple hues.

Bouquet

Marvellous and intense hints of cherries in alcohol, blackcurrants and bilberries that alternate with hints of chocolate, pepper, blond tobacco, and cloves set against a balmy and minty backdrop.

Flavour

Juicy and soft with a tannicity that balances with the acid component in a joyful interplay.

Pairing

Ideal for red meat dishes, cheeses.
