A wine with a ruby red colour and an intense bouquet of cherry and plums. Well balanced, with outstanding notes of plums and mixed berries. Shiraz grapes are vinified in the second half of September and the fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, and then aged in French oak barrels for 6-8 months. Cabernet grapes undergo a natural drying process in the vineyards, a particular process than can take place only in areas like Sicily where the specific soil and climate donate the favorable conditions. The dried grapes are then vinified in stainless steel tanks. Finally, the two varietals are blended to create this unique wine that conveys the typical Mediterranean warmth.
