The grape composition is the same as in Parrina Rosso, which is synonymous with Sangiovese (70-100%) and other local, non-aromatic red grapes.
The color of Parrina Rosso Riserva is a ruby red that, with aging, becomes more garnet. The aroma is intense, ample and with a complex bouquet. The taste is dry, almost austere and spartan, and of pronounced fine character.
Parrina Rosso Riserva must age for a minimum of 2 years, of which at least 1 year must be in oak barrels. Finally, the last 3 months of aging must be in the bottle.
Goes with roast.

Italy extends over 10 latitudes – from continental climate to subtropical climate?
If you envision Sicily as an independent country, it would have the world’s seventh largest wine production, but despite the large quantities, the quality is high and steadily increasing. Today, Sicily has Italy’s third-largest wine production, and the island’s wine is Southern Italy’s most stable in terms of quality.
