Harmonium Igt 2006 Firriato
It was born out of an act of love towards Sicily and her most important
native red grape variety. We gather only the most perfect grapes, those that
are sun-kissed, and make wine out of them with care and passion. What a
result! Dark, dense ruby colour, marvelous hints of red fruits highlighted by
prunes and black cherries. Tha palate is very concentrated, powerful and
warm, with vigorously caressing tannins. It is a work of balance and
harmony that has captured us as only a great composition could have done.
We thereforedecided to call it Harmonium. |
