Cantine Barbera 2018 Menfi DOC Alicante Ciatu

Cantine Barbera 2018 Menfi DOC Alicante Ciatu is a red wine that embodies the passion and tradition of Sicilian winemaking. Hailing from the renowned Menfi region, the Alicante grape, also known as Grenache, expresses itself beautifully in this wine, resulting in extraordinary aromatic complexity. With an alcohol content of 13.5%, this full-bodied red is structured yet can be enjoyed by those who prefer lighter wines.

On the nose, Ciatu offers an intense and enveloping bouquet, featuring notes of ripe red fruits such as cherries and plums, intertwined with floral hints of violet and a subtle spiciness from black pepper. On the palate, its tannic structure is soft and well-balanced, with a lingering finish that leaves a taste of dark chocolate and delicate vanilla. This wine is a perfect companion for meat dishes such as roasted lamb or braised wild boar, but also pairs well with aged cheeses and pasta dishes with rich sauces. Cantine Barbera honors its winemaking heritage with this Alicante, a wine that celebrates the wild yet captivating character of Sicily.
