Italy

Terre Siciliane

From 70-year-old north-facing vines at 700m on Mount Portella in Castiglione di Sicilia, this wine is not of volcanic origin, rather the soils are sandstone with clay and quartz. Vinified like Eduardo's other reds, this sees 18 months in concrete. The nose is gloriously compact and complex, showcasing cool brambly fruits with spicy, floral and balsamic overtones, and a lovely sweet note of red and black cherries. In the mouth it has great structure, allying fresh acidity to a sturdy tannic bed. Fleshy, succulent red and blue fruits shine, with a sprinkle of black and white pepper and a long, tight finish.
