A variety brought to Sicily by the ancient Greeks, Corinto is now considered an autochthonous variety. Here, the alberello (bush vines) are planted in volcanic soils of the island of Lipari. Aromas of macerated strawberry and cherry, with hints of chocolate and wild herbs, introduce a dense, wild palate of lifted dried cherry and macerated berries with an appassimento-style richness. The floral finish of violets, lavender and cherry is remarkably fresh and lifted, bringing that volcanic soil to the fore. Beautiful. Perfumed.
