Il Patrono
NOTO NERO D’AVOLA RISERVA
DOC
SICILIA
Forget your cares, enjoy yourself or experience love: anything is possible with a glass of Patrono in your hand. The figure on the label is Dionysus, drawn clearly in the Futurist style.
This pure Nero d ‘Avola, aged in oak barrels, is the “Riserva” wine of the Ramaddini family. From the Olympus of our single-variety wines, it rules with its regal red and purple nuances and delightful scent of spices, vanilla and red fruits. Its great personality also comes across in an enveloping and balanced taste. It should come as no surprise that it is one of our most award-winning wines.
