Firriato - Quater Rosso - IGT 2005

This is the land. It is the deepest need of our roots. It is the awareness of being Sicilian as a value and reference point, to be declined “four times” so as to connote in it our identity. The native varieties that make up this wine, create a deep ruby coloured nectar, a worthy prelude of an aromatic symphony where elegant notes of dark spices, blueberries and chocolate blend together. The confirmation in taste, the combination of mellow tannins, strong personality and Mediterranean warmth, enhance our senses: Sicily in a glass!
