Structure and character, elegance and curiosity. It is conceived like a classic bordeaux blend , but does not lose its territorial connotation. An impressive deep ruby colour is followed by complex aromas of red and black currants intermixed with hints of graphite, sweet tobacco, cherries, strawberry, cedar and subtle toasty oak. Refined and silky tannins, remarkable acidity and a persistant fruity finish enhance its elegant structure. Serramarrocco is a blend of sicilian terroir and bordelaise finesse.
