Ribeca Igt 2006 Firriato
This is a song for Sicily and for her extraordinary indigenous grapes.
The wine is a joyful blend of the vogorous and exuberant Nero d'Avola
and the rare and decisive Perricone. The colour is deep and intense ruby,
and the seductive perfume is of exquisite red fruits, spices and summer
woodlands. The taste is fascinating, rich and warm with soft and
delicate tannins. Ribeca is a rare and elegant pleasure and is dedicated
to all lovers everywhere. |
