Vaccaro - Luna - Syrah Terre Siciliane IGT - 2019
Intense ruby colour, to the nose it offers hints of fruits, such as currants, black cherries and plums, and flowers such as violets. To the palate it reflects the olfactory scents: it’s full and the tannins are not lacking while remaining discrete and round. Excellent length and balance.
Details
The moon, ever-changing and loyal, loving and cold, beautiful and mysterious, shrouded by a sense of immortality, has fascinated humankind since the beginning of time. In fact, humans have always endeavoured to grasp her sensuality and learn her secrets for living in harmony with mother nature. Over the centuries the regular course of its rising and waning has greatly influenced the popular beliefs. The phases of the moon with the mysterious celestial waves that accompany them regulate human behaviour, tides, plant growth, and rainfall. They have great importance in sowing, planting, crop care, harvesting and storage. This fascination and these reflections have inspired our line Luna: wines that express nuanced hints and reach deep in the soul of guests charming them with the magic of a dream.
