The Contrasto Del Rosso from the Augustali winery is an authentic expression of the Sicilian terroir, a faithful reflection of the island's unique viticultural characteristics. Sourced from the fertile hills surrounding the winery, this red wine is crafted from carefully selected grapes and vinified with utmost care to preserve all the varietal qualities.
The aromatic bouquet of Contrasto Del Rosso is rich and complex, characterized by notes of ripe red fruits like cherries and plums, skillfully married with hints of spices and a light touch of vanilla, a result of balanced aging in oak barrels. On the palate, the wine presents a medium-high body, supported by soft and well-integrated tannins that lead to a persistent and elegant finish.
Ideal to be served at room temperature, around 18°C (64°F), Contrasto Del Rosso pairs splendidly with robust dishes such as red meat roasts, lamb-based preparations, and aged cheeses. Its structure and complexity also make it an excellent companion for formal tasting evenings or as a meditation wine.
Recommended for lovers of Sicilian wines who seek in a red the intensity and warmth of the south, without foregoing finesse and balance.
