This is bottled poetry…

You’ll discover the Al-Cantàra winery nestled between the Nebrodi National Park and the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna. Al-Cantàra – which means ‘bridge’ in Arabic – is named after the stunning river that flows past the estate’s 15 hectares of vineyards through gorges and ravines then out to sea. The owner Pucci Giuffrida is a devotee of poetry and his romantic and expressive wines are inspired by the words of the great Sicilian poets.

O’Scura O’Scura is an old-vine Nerello Mascalese – a grape that produces haunting reds with a finesse and vineyard variation that can rival the Pinot Noir of Burgundy. Organically and biodynamically farmed and matured in oak for 12 months followed by a further year in stainless steel tanks; it’s all forest fruits toasted hazelnuts vanilla silk and spice. Juicy yet kind of ethereal this is a red to enjoy with friends. You’ll all be waxing lyrical in no time.
