"A blend of 60% Nero d'Avola and 40% Frappato, this red offers aromas of graphite, Mediterranean scrub and eucalyptus. On the elegantly structured palate, lithe, fine-grained tannins accompany juicy Marasca cherry, star anise and a hint of coffee bean."

"A very intense and complete Cersuolo with cherry, watermelon, elderberry, orange and floral character. It’s medium-bodied with density and lovely length. Drink now."
