The Character
Tasting Notes It is an inky and impenetrable red wine with a seamless presentation of dark fruit aromas. In terms of flavor, it takes you slightly off guard thanks to a sour point of fresh blackberry that is characteristic of the Alicante grape, and stands out against exotic layers of fine herbs, spices and sea brine. Its captivating palate is juicy and fresh, with smooth silky tannins, a well-integrated acidity and a long finish.

Sustainability Natural Fermentation
The Story
Alicante is a Spanish grape that was introduced in Sicily during the dominations of the XV-XVI centuries. Grown in several Mediterranean regions, it is also known as Garnacha, Grenache and Cannonau. The Alicante is influenced by the unique microclimate in Menfi, where the sea brine enhances the grapes' fruity flavors and underlines their natural acidity, enriching the wine's personality with a special saline touch.Ciàtu in Sicilian means breath: it is pure love for my land, for the energy of sunshine, for the generosity of the earth, and for the innermost breath of life.
