"A well-focused, rich red in a balanced, medium-bodied frame, this offers a subtle underpinning of tarry mineral notes layered over light, sculpted tannins and flavors of mulberry and dried fig, with hints of herbes de Provence and mocha. Drink now through 2025. 1,166 cases made." 

About the Wine: 

"The first harvest of the new Feudo del Pisciotto vineyards dates back to 2007, a harvest that despite the young age of the vines has given extraordinary results for all varieties. Paolo Panerai, who controls the company and who also owns Castellare di Castellina and Rocca di Frassinello, thus thought of celebrating its excellence and marrying the wine with the maximum expression of Made in Italy, that is fashion. This is how a line dedicated to the most important Italian stylists was born, part of the proceeds of which is destined every year for the restoration of a work of art or a monument in Sicily. Donatella Versace, who loves the king of Sicilian reds, has chosen the house symbol, the Medusa, for her Nero d’Avola. A red that better than others expresses the character of Sicily, its purity and its extraordinary elegance." 

Pairing Suggestion: Roasted and braised meats, game, and aged cheeses
