MERLOT
“A wine that is strong and decisive like the Western Sicilians”
This wine is made from Merlot grapes that have been exposed to the strong Western Sicilian sun, and has an intense ruby colour and distinctive character: a Sicilian Merlot that has a rich, refined and unique bouquet with elevated notes of cherry and plum.
“Magico” Merlot Siciliano is made of carefully selected grapes from our vineyards. It’s as elegant as its origins that lie beyond the Alps, recalling the great reds of the French Châteaus, but at the same time -without any barrique-ageing – it is pure, full-bodied, warm, generous, bold and of great character.
International and elegant as well as pure and typically Sicilian, “Magico” Merlot Siciliano is one of its kind, a wine that is strong and decisive like the Western Sicilians.
Serve at 18 ° 20 ° with meat-based dishes, game or aged cheeses.
