NOTE NERE Cabernet
CABERNET
SICILIA
DOC
The name of this wine brings to mind the fascinating influences that have made Sicily great, and a land capable of welcoming international vines into its midst and producing wines with a distinctive aroma.
Note Nere, with the scorching sun on the label, is a pure cabernet franc ruby red in colour, with hints of blackberries and black cherry that make way for pepper and liquorice. The full, round flavour pleases the palate and leaves a lingering finish. It is a wine hard to forget.
