more famous with the name of Perricone, grown mainly in the western part of the island. It’s a fragile variety, which gives low yields but of great interest. We are especially intrigued by the black fruits combined in an original way with spicy tones, black pepper or fresh floral or balsamic notes. It has soft tannins, more fruit intensity than acidity, but at the same time a very pleasant, juicy and pulpy sip, perfect also served at a slightly lower temperature, around 15 degrees Celsius. Many Sicilian producers believe in it and are betting on it more and more by making it in purity, also working hard on parcels and individual vineyards. Stay tuned, in the next few years it will be fun to watch it flourish.(https://www.gamberorossointernational.com/news/wine-news/five-native-grape-varieties-we-are-ready-to-bet-on/?utm_term=28569+-+Five+native+grape+varieties+we+are+ready+to+bet+on&utm_campaign=NL+WEEKLY+ENG&utm_medium=email&utm_source=MagNews&utm_content=4140+-+2124+%282021-05-07%29)
