A red wine influenced by the sea

FAVINIA LE SCIABICHE

IGT Terre Siciliane

Perricone and Nero d’Avola

Favinia Le Sciabiche, from Perricone and Nero D’Avola grapes, is characterized by marine influences. The perfect and balanced synergy between the two native vines of the Sicilian tradition, gives life to a red with an extremely incisive organoleptic profile. The Perricone, characterized by its tannicity and spicy notes, meets the Nero d’Avola, which brings to the blend a particular roundness, a good acidity component and delicate nuances of ripe red fruit. The combination of the two native grapes gives shape to a balanced wine, complex in its taste-olfactory sphere and with a good aging potential.
There is also a vegetal note on the nose, with hints of Mediterranean scrub, which unmistakably recalls the scents of Sicily.

Favinia le Sciabiche

I Vini dall'influenza marina

The marine-Mediterranean mesoclimate, the peculiarity of the mineral soils, the specific microclimate of the vineyards, characterized by the influence of the winds and the sea, these are some of the aspects that have allowed the production of unique and recognizable wines. Nero d’Avola and Perricone are two symbols of Sicilian winemaking. The first is widespread throughout the island and is known internationally. Perricone, on the other hand, is a variety that risked oblivion and that has been recovered and enhanced by the company. These are the two native red grapes that give life to Favinia Le Sciabiche. A blend with identifying organoleptic characteristics, characterized by iodine notes and elegant tannins.
