Lusira'
DOC Sicilia
Lusirà embodies the Sicilian character of middle-Eastern Syrah flourishing in its promised land – four hectares
of Baglio del Cristo di Campobello. Man has faith in that which he desires. The realization of dreams, together with a certainty of what will come to pass have, already taken root.
​
Syrah 100%
​
“Dark ruby colour. The major attraction of this wine is its elegance, which caresses the mouth with intense and complex red fruit jam, taking on spiciness and finishing with a vanilla note that coats the tannins, giving a caressing mouth feel. This wine can be cellared over 10 years.”
