Franchetti Terre Siciliane 2021
Unique blend of Petit Verdot and Cesanese d’Affile grown in contrada Guardiola at 820 m asl. The winemaker’s interpretation of a full-bodied wine on Etna.

Colour

Bright ruby mantle of medium depth.v

Bouquet

Mineral fragrances, followed by an olfactory deluge of black cherries and sour cherries, black cherry, raspberry, graphite and goudron, burnt citrus fruit peel, carcass and dried flowers.

Cheese
Pork
