Romano Winery, established in 1890 in Partinico, Sicily, is celebrated for its dedication to producing wines that reflect the rich heritage and terroir of the region. The Fawarah Perricone 2021 exemplifies this commitment, crafted exclusively from the indigenous Perricone grape variety, known for its refined and unique character.

The vineyards are located in western Sicily, at an altitude of 350 metres above sea level. The combination of calcareous and clayey soils, along with the region's favourable microclimate, provides an ideal environment for cultivating Perricone vines. The 2021 vintage benefited from optimal weather conditions, resulting in grapes of exceptional quality.

Appearance: In the glass, the wine presents a ruby-red hue with garnet reflections, indicating its depth and clarity. The medium density and slow-forming legs suggest a well-structured body and balanced alcohol content.

Aroma: The nose is greeted with pronounced notes of red fruits, such as cherries and plum jam, complemented by delicate vegetal hints. Subtle nuances of juniper and black pepper add complexity and depth to the aromatic profile. Light Mediterranean mineral notes blend harmoniously with delicate blackberry tones, enhancing the wine's aromatic allure.

Taste: On the palate, the wine is enveloping and compelling, offering a broad and soft sip that highlights marked notes of ripe cherries, pink salt, spices, and small dried flowers. The excellent body and articulated tannic texture provide a good range of flavours that reflect the terroir, leading to a decisive persistence.

Finish: The finish is long and pleasantly flavoured, with the rich fruit and spice notes gradually giving way to a lingering aftertaste of subtle herbs and a touch of minerality. The balanced structure ensures a satisfying and memorable conclusion.

Food Pairing: The Fawarah Perricone 2021 pairs exceptionally well with first and second courses based on red meat, roasts, and grills. It also complements smoked cold cuts and flavourful cheeses, enhancing the richness and depth of these foods. Serving at a temperature of 16°-19°C is recommended to fully appreciate its complex flavours and aromas.

The Fawarah Perricone 2021 exemplifies Romano Winery's dedication to crafting wines that capture the essence of Sicily's terroir, offering a distinctive and pleasurable tasting experience.
