Tasting notes

Bewitching by nature, Scialo is a symbolic wine, like the few regional wines in existence. Complex and enveloping, Scialo has similar gifts to those of long-lasting wines, where the wood of the casks has rounded the wine off, leaving it to express itself to the full. An equal blend of Nero d’Avola and Syrah, Scialo has a rare body and elegance, is bright on the nose, unique with a velvety softness on the palate: the son of the very best of Sicilian wine-making.
