Azienda Agricola Cos Maldafrica Rosso Terre Sicilia IGP 2019

Maldafrica denotes an “inner longing for a distant land” and is not love at first sight, but it is one of the most interesting wines of Sicily.

Taste Profile: Maldafrica overwhelms the senses with dark fruits, spices, chopped herbs, salty notes, sulphur, leather and damp tobacco. Its mouthfeel is over a minute long and its acidity provides the perfect amount of astringency to refresh the senses for all its opulence.

Fontane,Vittoria (RG), South-Eastern Sicily. Grown organically on red soil, medium consistency, formed of sub-apennine sands of Pliocene origin, of limestone-siliceous nature, interwoven with compact layers of fresh clay and siliceous sand.

Winemaking Process: Spontaneous in terracotta amphorae, on the skins with indigenous yeasts. Aged in Slavonian barrels and bottle.
