Description
Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, two great grape varieties that thrive in the Sicilian terroir. Intense ruby red colour and broad scent, which recalls red fruit and Mediterranean scrub. In the mouth, fresh, soft and balanced, with an aftertaste of cocoa and vanilla. A wine of great structure which never loses elegance and drinkability. The sculputure of prickly pears on the label is by the great ceramist Giacomo Alessi from Caltagirone.

The estate dates back to 1700 and was one of the largest in Sicily. The ancient building includes the Palmento, from the Latin word Paumentum, referring to pressing something. To crush grapes, in vats that then let the must drop by gravity, has been ascertained to be the best technique today. Restored without any changes to the existing building, the Palmento is connected to a modern wine cellar built to vinify up to 10,000 hectolitres using the most advanced technology. Part of the Palmento and the Baglio has been converted into a wine relais with 10 rooms and a restaurant above the barrique cellar visible through the glass floor. Read more
