CANTODORO SICILIA D.O.C. 2022

Ruby red in colour. Nero d’Avola contributes a pronounced fruity character, expressed through intense, ripe aromas of blackberry, wild strawberry and raspberry. These blend harmoniously with the distinctive notes of Cabernet Sauvignon, which brings aromas of blackcurrant together with structure and body. More evolved nuances of liquorice, tobacco and plum combine with a subtle touch of vanilla, giving the wine remarkable depth and complexity.
