Nose
Very complex and ethereal; we mainly distinguish herbaceous, woody and spiced hints of vanilla, cinnamon, dried fruits but also of almonds and toasted nuts
Palate
Dry, powerful, with a great texture and alcoholic character, with a pleasant aftertaste of its aromatic hints; so it becomes an unforgettable product of sicilian oenology

Outstanding meditation wine, to taste with typical dry almond biscuits like tagliancozzi; even if it is possible to pair it with cottage cheese, sweets and with creams of the sicilian confectionery; to taste also with the dark chocolate from Modica and with hard seasoned cheese produced in Sicily
