2019 U.Passimiento Vegan

An intense and warming Sicilian red with a bit of extra richness.

The fruit for this is grown in vineyards at the hot, western tip of Sicily from a blend of 70% Nero d'Avola and 30% Frappato grapes. The Nero d'Avola grapes were left to hang longer on the vines before picking to encourage a light withering and natural de-hydration which gives the finished wine an extra concentration of flavours. There are bright, intense red fruits aromas on the nose with a deep, rich, warming, full-bodied palate of dark cherry, raisin and sweet spice leading up to a lovely smooth and silky finish.
