Fico Rosso

Fico Rosso is comprised of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, two great grape varieties that thrive in the Sicilian terroir. A wine of great structure which never loose elegance and drinkability. The sculputure of prickly pears on the label is by the great ceramist Giacomo Alessi from Caltagirone. 

Tasting Notes

Dark ruby red. Generous aromas characteristic of this variety, reminiscent of red plums and with notes of Mediterranean scrub, intersected with very pleasant shades of black pepper. A wine that impresses with the integrity of the fruit, fleshy, rich, consistent with the typical characteristics of the variety.

Food Pairing

This wine pairs idealy with spiced fish soups, first courses featuring various types of meat, particularly red meats, and grilled vegetables.
