Description
This noble vine is cultivated on just a few hectares in the province of Messina, facing the sea and is of historical importance. La Baronia on Capo Milazzo is a spectacular vineyard surrounded by the sea, ancient olive trees, and views of the Aeolian islands. A marine red wine with aromas of Mediterranean land, myrtle and garrigue. Fondazione Barone Lucifero, which owns the estate, uses part of the proceeds for socio-cultural and recreational activities for children in the Milazzo area.

Racking with soft pressing follows, and the wine thus obtained carries out its malolactic fermentation in stainless steel. |
