In Sicily, a true wine revolution has been going on for 25 years. Previously, it was a forgotten wine island that clung to the faded glory of Marsala. Today, surprising quality wines are made from typical grapes of the island such as the blue Nero d'Avola and Frappato and the white Inzolia.

Een hele speciale wijn! Lijkt zowel qua smaak als qua kleur zeer sterk op een goede Bourgogne. Alleen is de kleur meer helder, bijna fluorescerend rood dan Bourgogne en worden bepaalde zwart fruit elementen van Bourgogne door rood fruit vervangen. Verder zeer gelijkend op bijvoorbeeld een goede Beaune, alleen iets meer mineraal, heel karakteristiek. Een zeer interessante wijn voor liefhebbers van rode Bourgogne, veel eleganter dan welke rode Italiaan ook.
