Duca Salaparuta Nero d'Avola Duca Enrico 2018
'Duca Enrico', first produced in 1984, is one of the iconic wines of Italian and international oenology. The first Nero d'Avola in purity in the history of Sicilian wines, this noble red, which comes from only a few select vineyards within the Suor Marchesa Estate, is a wine of aristocratic charm and unmistakable style.

Bouquet

Complex, with notes of ripe fruits, iris and spices.

Flavour

Pairing
