Lu Patri
DOC Sicilia
Lu Patri is the Nero d’Avola conceived in the spring of 2000, in six hectares of Baglio del Cristo di Campobello vineyards and fathered by the offspring of its mother-earth. Purity and sublimation. Labour's reward.
Nero d'Avola 100%
“Deep ruby colour. Balsamic notes, together with aromatic herbs, blackberries and sour cherries. Round and smooth, with elegant tannins and lots of flavour. Warm and complex character, caressing and spicy, with and underlay of elegant, liquorice-coated tannins. This wine can be cellared over 10 years.”
