Description

Controdanza, from “country dance”, is a traditional rural dance where partners move gracefully together and then oppose each other. Thus, this wine imagined an association of Nero d’Avola and a small amount of Merlot, both cultivated in Noto’s white soil. An unconventional combination, balanced between harmony and contrast.
