Nose

On the nose the wine is original and different from others; white pepper, geranium and summer fruits, plums and ripe Noto figs.

Palate

On the palate it is soft and persuasive, the typical style of this ancient Sicilian grape variety and definitely to be experienced. The vines are still young and so also the structure of the wine, which however remains utterly original.
