Buy this wine because its racy and spicy with lovely black fruits and pepper, this is one of Ruth’s favourite reds. All wines made by Vito are the product of organic vineyards carefully and expertly overseen by Vito. The focus is on Sicily’s noble local varieties, picked and vinified to retain balanced fruit, varietal character and sense of place without over ripe, baked concentration that sometimes represents the island. By calling on a friend who is a talented artist Vito has also ensured that his packaging is some of the most tastefully stylish that we have come across.

It pairs great with punchy saucy pasta dishes with plenty of herbs, Beef Wellington, roast rack of lamb
