The blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Syrah combines the aristocratic depth of Cabernet with the seductive flavour of Syrah - both grape varieties that find Mediterranean ripeness in the chalky, sun-drenched soils around Noto. Cultivated organically, this wine conveys the sunshine of Sicily with a down-to-earth character and structure. The wine was originally only intended for private occasions – a heartfelt project that today celebrates with its name the connection to people and moments that are more than mere consumption. The grapes for it (label: "only the best grapes") come from strictly selected plots around Noto, where chalky soils, salt winds and intense sunlight characterise the aroma and structure.

The dark ruby colour shimmers with fascinating depth in the glass. The nose reveals dark forest fruits, slightly herbal and spicy notes and subtle nuances of roasted wood. On the palate, the wine flatters with clearly contoured fruit, polished tannins and an almost Burgundian elegance. The structure is soft yet present, supported by a restrained, spicy density and a long, almost salty finish that makes you want to savour the next sip. Family & Friends Rosso is more than just a wine, it is a family host in which origin, craftsmanship and conviviality merge. Ideal with dark meat dishes, game ragout or mature cheese - and wherever wine is celebrated as a unifying pleasure with family and good friends. SUPERIORE.DE

"Deep dark, rich, elegant ruby red colour. Elegant aroma on the nose, lots of ripe wild berries, delicate spice, noble. Compact on the palate with an elegant mellowness, beautiful density, clear fruit, slightly salty on the final with a rich finish, can age well." Falstaff

"A multi-layered, flavourful red wine with ripe fruit and a linear tannin structure. Medium to full body. Slightly cooked fruit on the finish. A juicy, slightly tannic red wine." James Suckling
