Typical characteristics of Nero d’Avola di Noto but grown in slightly less limey soils; with aromas of jasmine and prune together with balsamic notes, of bay, incense, Mediterranean macchia and goudron, balanced and rendered lively by the addition of an exuberant Merlot produced on the same lime soil. The wood comes second, well covered by the fruit. Spicey and acidic notes are always adequately present on the palate, though well softened by the alcohol and balanced with tannins.
