HEDONIS SICILIA D.O.C. RISERVA 2015

Intense red color. It offers a large aromatic profile, with notes of red fruit, such as plum, black cherry and passionate raspberry, accompanied by hints of mustard and sweet spices, and hints of vanilla, almond and tobacco deriving from wood maturation. On the palate it expresses a powerful, velvety, viscose and juicy structure, with soft tannins. The ending is fresh and elegant, as is typical of the grape variety.
