Of the four crus of the Val di Noto, this is the wine which is more pronounced, brightening the typical acidity of Nero d'Avola. Over time it develops a very elegant frame, showing very fine tannins. It then becomes a beautiful red to go with intense processed fish, dishes with wild mushrooms and pork products in many different preparations.
