Feudi del Pisciotto Moro di Testa

Feudi del Pisciotto Moro di Testa

Wine Description

Moro di Testa is comprised of two varietals - Syrah, which prefers sandy soils and the vineyards of Piano Spineto, the plateau located in the highest part of the estate, are the ideal habitat for this great grape variety. The image of the Moor on the label is taken from a sculpture made by Giacomo Alessi, the great ceramist from Caltagirone.
