Gerbino Rosso

Di Giovanna

Gerbino Rosso is a rich and sunny Sicilian blend that speaks its sunny territory to life with dark fruited Syrah at its core and red fruited Nero d’Avola and Merlot playing the harmony. Hand harvested and carefully selected bunches fermented in stainless with ten days’s maceration, it’s an indigo dense wine full of wild berries, plums, grapes, prunes, and roasty coffee notes. The clean and expressive nose give way to a palate structured by firm tannins and rich, ripe fruit, a perfect pairing for roasts and a certified crowd pleaser.
