Tasting notes

Powerful and decisive like the Sicilian sun, this version of Cabernet Sauvignon lights up with its dense and flawless varietal notes of blackcurrant and plum with seductive hints of green bell pepper, tobacco and mint. Dynamic and elegant, it stands out due to its innate complexity on the nose and irrepressible rich taste. Harmonious and long-lasting.
