Microcosmo' Rosso IGT Sicilia - 2018

Vineyards are complex ecosystems where vegetals, animals, insects and an endless diversity of microorganisms live together in perfect harmony. The vineyard of Microcosmo is the proof of a possible natural equilibrium created by a harmonic varietal interdependence that generates energy and life. Microcosmo is a medium-bodied dynamic wine with a multi-faceted personality. It has a bright ruby red color, often lighter than many other Sicilian reds. To the nose, complex and elegant aromas of red ripe fruit merge into scents of sweet bay-leaf and the finest oriental spices: cinnamon, ginger, incense, star anise then dried fruit, baked black olives, and salted capers. It is dry and very persistent to the palate, with a mineral fresh structure that evolves into an intense aftertaste.
