NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Donnafugata La Bella Sedara is an exquisite wine as a blend of indigenous grape varieties, including Nero d'Avola, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon.On the nose, La Bella Sedara offers a bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, accompanied by hints of spices and Mediterranean herbs. The palate is rich and velvety, with well-integrated tannins and a balanced acidity. Flavors of blackberries, blackcurrants, and a touch of vanilla unfold, leading to a long and satisfying finish. This wine is a perfect companion for hearty dishes, such as grilled meats, pasta with rich tomato-based sauces, or aged cheeses. It can be enjoyed now or cellared for a few years to enhance its complexity.
