Sicilia Merlot

Classification: IGT

Alcohol: 14%
Volume: 750ml

It is a multi-faceted and intriguing red wine which combines the pleasure of tannin with an extraordinary persistence of taste.
Although it can so easily be drunk on its own, its elegance renders it appropriate with white meat even when cooked with a sauce of considerable flavor, or with delicate fish (cooked without lemon) or even with baked vegetables.
