The 2018 vintage of the premium Cristo di Campobello 'Lu Patri' is deep ruby red in colour with balsamic notes interlaced with hints of herbs, blackberries, liquorice and sour cherries. Round and smooth, with a core of dark fruit surrounded by fine tannins. Each vintage offers a subtle nuance which will continue to evolve for at least ten years when cellared. This is an example of Sicily’s finest Nero d’Avola.
