Description
Falde represents the two most suitable wine-making areas of the eastern Sicily, thanks to the
perfect match of two fine native grape varieties with an international variety magnificently adapted
to the Sicilian climate. Made with Nerello Mascalese grapes, grown at high altitude on lava soils,
rich in minerals, Syrah and Frappato grapes, coming from hilly, predominantly sandy soils, this wine
has an intense aroma of red fruit and spices, and a harmonious and lingering taste.
