Description

Arianna's rosso version of SP68 is much more lifted and fresh than many examples of Nero d'Avola can be - the addition of Frappato giving some bright cherry crunch. Smoky, saline and with that waft of wild herbs so often to be imprinted in the DNA of Sicilian wine. A real pleasure and a lovely taste of this special Italian island.
