Our Tasting Note: Medium ruby red, pink edges. A very pretty and bright nose, suffused with cherry and berries, good lift, fresh, a touch of rose and violet florals. On the palate, it’s light to medium-bodied, with lively acidity, supple tannins, and a silky texture. Hints of herbs, spice, and earth add layers of complexity. 12% abv.

Fresh and graceful, this is an ideal match for grilled tuna, poultry, pasta, Sicilian caponata, or soft cheeses. Le Sabbie Rosse, or "red sands," are remarkably fine-textured soils composed primarily of sand with only trace amounts of clay. Their distinctive reddish hue comes from a high concentration of iron oxides. Naturally well-draining, these soils discourage water retention, prompting vines to send their roots deep in search of nutrients. The result is wines with notable structure, complexity, and elegance.
