Le Sabbie Rosse, or "red sands," are remarkably fine-textured soils composed primarily of sand with only trace amounts of clay. Their distinctive reddish hue comes from a high concentration of iron oxides. Naturally well-draining, these soils discourage water retention, prompting vines to send their roots deep in search of nutrients. The result is wines with notable structure, complexity, and elegance.
A blend of 70% Frappato and 30% Nero d’Avola, this wine shows a bright ruby hue and aromas of red berries such as strawberry, cherry, and raspberry, layered with floral notes of violet and rose. On the palate, it’s light to medium-bodied with juicy acidity, soft tannins, and a silky mouthfeel. Subtle herbal, spice, and earthy nuances lend added depth. Fresh and elegant, it pairs beautifully with grilled tuna, poultry, pasta dishes, Sicilian caponata, and soft cheeses.
