Donnafugata Tancredi is a red blend made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Nero d’Avola, Tannat and indigenous red grapes, growing in the southwest part of Sicily. The wine undergoes 13 to 14 months in French oak barriques (both new and used oak) and at least 14 months in bottle, which gives the wine a complex, layered and intense personality. On the nose, it displays aromas of ripe red fruits, blackberry, and dark cherry, with spicy and balsamic notes. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and concentrated, with a great balance of acidity and tannins. It has a long and persistent finish, with hints of licorice and forest floor. Its complexity and intense character make it an ideal pairing for roasted or grilled red meats, game, and aged cheeses.
