Tenuta di Castellaro Corinto 2018

Reborn from the oldest vines of the Aeolian Islands, Corinto Nero is a work of eno-archeology.

It expresses the best qualities of persistence and elegance of its origins.

It is an ancestral wine of ruby ​​red color, which smells of wood and ripe fruit and has an elegant, persistent and vigorous taste.

It is offered in 100% purity to give a wine with unique characters.

Corinto Nero is an ancient vine of Greek origin, coming from the lands of the city of the same name and introduced in Sicily during the period of Hellenic colonization.

The strength of the wind, from which the Aeolian Islands take their name, the minerality of the volcanic soils, the knowledge and harmony in the work of our children in the vineyard, give us the pride of carrying the flag of this vine around the world. Vinified in French oak barrels with maceration of over 10 days, it is decanted into barrels for aging for at least one year.

Quite simply, a great Italian red wine.
