DESCRIPTION

“A fairytale wine…on the border between reality and fantasy”

This wine tells a love story from another time experienced by two Sicilian “aciddruzzi” on the border between reality and fantasy. Guancianera was a white “acidduzzo” (little bird) who had a small black spot on one cheek. He spent his days with Guanciabianca, a black “acidduzza” who had a small white spot on one cheek. In the reality of a distant past we do not know how things ended between the two “acidduzzi” but behind every self-respecting love story there is always an excellent glass of wine to keep you company…and to tell it. And at this point everyone's imagination begins!

There are those who read in the ruby ​​red color with garnet reflections of the wine “Guancianera Rosso” the feeling of love of every Sicilian man for his woman. The hints of intense red fruit and the classic ones of morello cherry bring to mind berries. The persuasive and gentle flavor and its moderate alcohol content make Guancianera a gentle, harmonious, sincere wine, at times with a very pleasant sweet aftertaste that is barely perceptible on the palate. Guancianera is a wine…a fairy tale, or if you prefer a fairy tale… of wine!

Serve at 16°18° with all meat dishes. Also excellent with pizza.
