Red wine | Italy, SICILIA | 2022
This wine has a ruby-red colour. The nose offers a charming bouquet of ripe black fruit, cocoa, tobacco and spicy notes of oak. These aromas carry through onto the palate, with beautiful fruitiness reminiscent of mulberries and cherries in liqueur. A rich wine with soft tannins, lovely complexity and juicy freshness, giving the wine an elegant character.

About Cantine Grasso
Since its foundation in 1887, Cantine Grasso has been dedicated to a continuous pursuit of quality and authenticity for five generations. Based in Milazzo, in northeastern Sicily, the vineyards stretch along the Tyrrhenian coast of the province of Messina, with the Aeolian Islands on the horizon.
The distinctive landscape, where the coastal plain gives way to rolling hills, provides a unique terroir for viticulture. Here, centuries-old traditions and expertise in Sicilian winemaking are combined with modern viticultural and cellar techniques.
The winery has been completely modernised and equipped with advanced technology. The result is a harmonious balance between tradition and innovation, with the character of the terroir and the individuality of the grapes remaining at the heart of every wine.
