Colosi Rosso Salina IGT

WINE DESCRIPTION This wine is a blend of Nerello Cappuccio and Nerello Mascalese grapes grown in Salina, one of the Aeolian islands, in the North of Sicily. The original name of the island was the Greek “Didyme” meaning twins, which referred to two volcanoes, Monte Fossa delle Felci and Monte dei Porri present on the island (now inactive). The island’s modern name, “Salina”, refers to a small salty lake situated south of the town of Santa Maria. TASTING NOTES Ruby red color with purple highlights. The bouquet on the nose is intense and rich, with luscious fuity notes of morello cherry and blackberry, and elegant hints of flowers from the Mediterranean scrub. The sip is well structured and balanced, with a fruity aftertaste. The wine can age well for some years.
