Harmonium Firriato 2013 lt. 0,75

Wine name  Harmonium<?xml:namespace prefix = "o" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

It was born out of an act of love towards Sicily and her most important native red grape variety. We gather only the most perfect grapes, those that are sun-kissed, and make wine out of them with care and passion. What a result! Dark, dense ruby colour, marvelous hints of red fruits highlighted by prunes and black cherries. Tha palate is very concentrated, powerful and warm, with vigorously caressing tannins. It is a work of balance and harmony that has captured us as only a great

composition could have done. We there fore decided to call it Harmonium.
