Carduni is an excellent, all-Sicilian Petit Verdot with dense fruit flavors and deep, concentrated color and texture. This is a bruiser of a wine that ushers forth generous aromas of blackberry, ripe cherry, spice and cola. It has gritty tannins and admirable staying power: Pair it with succulent cuts of red beef.

This is a lovely and sophisticated expression of Petit Verdot from Sicily with elegant graphite and mineral tones that back plum, prune, spice and loads of toasted nut. The wine is aged 16 month in oak, so those spice and smoke tones are also evident on the tasty finish.

A pure expression of Petit Verdot, Carduni is a rich and penetrating wine with integrated oak tones set against a plush backdrop of mature blackberry and plum pudding. Spice, leather and tobacco appear on the rear and the wine offers impressive structure and depth.
