Tasting Notes:

This is an intense red that expresses the typical characteristics of the region of Sicily. Dark ruby red color with clean fragrances of red fruits, distinctive of the Nero d’Avola grape, one of Sicily’s ancient noble grape varieties. It takes center stage on the palate with full and elegant flavors, followed by sweet tannins. Excellent with rich first course pasta dishes, roasted or grilled meats, and cheeses.

During the time of Julius Caesar, the people of the region of Patti were called “Mamertini the Messinians” or rather “Children of Mars”, the mythical god of war. Their fierce character was similar to one of their ancient wines, a favorite of Julius Caesar. Today, the chant has become sweet, and following the trend, the mark of the wine from this region has become more gentle. The vineyards of Antica Tindari are situated here, between the hills, where the famous Greek theatre of Tyndaris was constructed by Dionysus I, around 396 BC. The winery uses the most advanced viticultural practices with the intention of reintroducing the near extinct indigenous vines of the area, particularly Nocera and Corinto, integrating them with the more classic Sicilian vines, Nero d’Avola and Nerelli, while maintaining a small part of the facility for international varieties.
