Maria Costanza Rosso Riserva Sicilia DOP 75 cl Azienda Agricola G Milazzo

The Maria Costanza Rosso Riserva represents the culmination of the agronomic and oenological research work on our Nero d'Avola clones, to give life to a new red wine which, in the wake of the company tradition built on the success of its Maria Costanza Rosso , opens up new paths for the interpretation of the largest native Sicilian vine.

Intense dark and almost impenetrable red colour. Evident hints of spice, green pepper and unroasted cocoa bean, followed by fresh red fruits such as blueberry and currant. On the finish light roasting notes that recall incense. In the mouth it is full, intense and enveloping. The tannin is decisive, rich and of excellent quality. Structure and freshness guarantee a remarkable persistence and drinkability.
