Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc from the best vineyards around Menfi, selectively harvested and matured for 14 months in French oak barriques (Allier and Tronçais) – burdese has been a Sicilian statement in the style of great Bordeaux wines for many decades. Deep, dark ruby red colour with an almost impenetrable core. Dense aromas of ripe black cherry, blackberry and cassis on the nose, accompanied by cedar wood, mocha, dried herbs and a hint of graphite. Powerful, concentrated and yet surprisingly fresh on the palate: ripe tannins, vitalising acidity and a balanced body carry the dark fruit into a long, spicy final with an elegant hint of wood.

Burdese – the name alludes to the Sicilian pronunciation of Bordeaux – is an intense but controlled wine with a clear signature and international appeal. A Mediterranean Grand Vin that harmonises structure, maturity and origin with aplomb. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Rosso Burdese 2020 is a little restrained today, with a bouquet of wild herbs, dried flowers and dusty blackcurrants. The palate is cool and supple, with crisp red berry fruit, while rosy florals build over a saturation of tactile mineral tones. The finish is structured, long and only slightly tannic, with a lingering aftertaste of tart raspberries." Vinous
