Description:
The Vignali Roccamora estate is situated in Contrada, Montoni - Agrigento and is the fruit of a collaboration between producers Gian Andrea Tinazzi (from Verona) and Gaetano Alfano (from Agrigento), who have developed these Sicilian wines to encapsulate both tradition in the vineyard and winery.
This wine is a blend of 50% Nero d'Avola and 50% Merlot and is showing an intense red colour with a violet nuance. The hints of ripe berry aromas are complemented by sweet spices and a tobacco finish. Refined for 12 months in American wood this Scilian red is warm and full flavoured, with a very compact tannin.
