Discover the Carrico 68.8 IGP, a superb expression of the Sicilian terroir produced by the renowned Filippo Grasso winery. This wine captures the essence of Sicily, offering an olfactory and taste experience that reflects the rich winemaking tradition of the island.

On the nose, Carrico 68.8 reveals an intriguing bouquet, characterized by notes of ripe red fruits such as cherries and plums, wrapped in nuances of sweet spices and a light touch of vanilla, thanks to the skillful aging in wooden barrels. These aromatic essences are the prelude to a complex and well-balanced palate.

In the mouth, the wine is distinguished by its robust structure and velvety tannin that harmoniously integrates with vibrant acidity. Layers of flavor unfold, displaying a richness of flavors that persist in a long and satisfying finish.

Carrico 68.8 is produced using carefully selected grapes, adhering to the Protected Geographical Indication (IGP) criteria, which ensures the origin and quality of the vines. The winemaking process is carefully monitored by Filippo Grasso, who uses both traditional and modern techniques to enhance the unique character of these grapes.

Recommended pairings include hearty dishes such as braised meats, roasts, and mature cheeses. Ideally served at a temperature of 18-20°C, Carrico 68.8 is a wine that can be enjoyed immediately or allowed to age to express further nuances.

The bottle features an elegant design that reflects the quality of its contents, making this wine an ideal gift for enthusiasts or a valuable addition to any collection. Discover the charm of Filippo Grasso's Carrico 68.8 IGP, a wine that proudly celebrates the Sicilian winemaking heritage.
