Duca di Salaparuta Duca Brut
Duca Brut, first produced in 1971, was the first Sicilian sparkling wine produced using the Long Charmat method and, today more than ever, represents the contemporary and glamour. This unique Brut wine is produced in the hinterland of Palermo from Grecanico and Chardonnay grapes cultivated at more than 500 metres above sea level. Duca Brut is an elegant, complex wine with fruity scents developed in harmony with a distinct aroma of bread crust and is well-balanced, fresh and lively. A wine with considerable personality and agreeableness.
