TASTING NOTES
Color: transparent and bright ruby red, consistent with the type.
Smell: decisive and sophisticated notes of small red fruits, raspberries and peach, which are enveloped by intense nuances of nutmeg and black pepper, framed by more delicate rose petals. A wine that smells of its smug volcanicity in ferrous and mineral nuances.
Palate: the body of the taste and the seduction of the tannins are predominant. Of remarkable persistence, it expresses its bursting personality in all its components.
Characteristics: it is the emblem of Sicily that explodes for the richness of its potential and that does not surrender to the changing uncertainty of life and the future. The Cavanera expresses all its desire to leave its mark. Never has a wine been so unique.
