Delightful Mediterranean style wine from Sicily, now one of the world's hottest wine regions, this wine has a very dark ruby red color, lively nose of dark berries, black cherries and dried fruit and enticing black fruit, vanilla and spice flavors with a pleasingly long spicy oak finish; this is a medium to full bodied wine with good acidity and firm tannins; match with herb grilled meats and flavorful hard cheeses; established in 1968 by a French Navy Officer and his wife who was of local Palermo nobility, Tenuta Rapitala is now one of Sicily's finest producers.
