Cabernet Sauvignon

Sicily is a region where more or less all grape varieties can give their very best. In this land, Cabernet Sauvignon acquires absolutely unique characteristics. Lacking vegetal notes, typical of this variety in a non-ideal way, here, Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine of great structure and with a polyphenolic component ideal for optimal ageing. The label for this wine was drawn by Missoni.

Tasting Notes

Without vegetable notes, typical of this grape variety, it is of great structural level and with a polyphenolic component of wine suitable to long aging.

Food Pairing

Ideally paired with red meat, roasts, and lamb. Also recommended with porcini mushrooms and aged cheeses.
