Winemaker Notes
A wine with great structure and an intense red colour, enfolding on the palate and characterised by vegetal overtone with hints of blackberries and spices.
The pairing with first courses and full-flavoured white and red meats exalts its qualities and makes it possible to appreciate its characteristics. Also perfect with full-flavoured and aged cheeses.

Black cherry coulis and chocolate pudding notes are underscored by accents of wild herb, smoke and graphite in this medium-bodied red, with sculpted tannins and fresh acidity. Offers a firm, well-spiced finish. Merlot. Drink now through 2024.
Located inside the triangle created by Piazza Almerina (known for its extraordinary and intact Roman villa), Caltagirone (famous for its ceramics) and Vittoria (famous for Cerasuolo di Vittoria, the only Sicilian DOCG), the vineyards of Feudi del Pisciotto dedicate half their vines to the red wine king of the island, Nero d’Avola, and half to international varieties such as Cabernet, Merlot, Semillon and Gewürztraminer. Inside the winery, Feudi del Pisciotto prides itself on combining history with high technology in the cellar in order to reach the highest levels of the Sicilian wine production.
Part of the Pisciotto reserve, famous for its beauty, the abundance of cork oaks and the presence of many other species of vegetation, Feudi del Pisciotto also enjoys relicts of its long history, including an extraordinary millstone that was once used by the ancient Romans to make wine.
