About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Merlot is grown in Sicily, where a Mediterranean climate brings consistently bright sunshine, moderate rainfall and coastal breezes that protect the grapes from rot and mould. The island’s dark soils are rich in mineral deposits.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and vinified traditionally at a controlled temperature.

Serving and pairing

Pair with grilled red meat or a variety of cheeses.
