Menfi

Burdese means ‘from Bordeaux’ in the Sicilian dialect and refers to the blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Cabernet Franc - the Cabernet Sauvignon grown on a low, clayey plot while the Cabernet Franc is from chalky soils at around 500m above sea level. It's vinified in stainless steel then matured for 16 months in new French oak barriques. Chocolatey dark fruits with balsamic overtones and touches of pepper are matched by good acidity and tannic grip. Fresh, long and structured, it's a distinctly Sicilian take on Bordeaux, giving an extra dash of ripeness but not at the expense of balance.
