The 2011 Burdese represents a 70/30 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc and the wine is dedicated to the many French influences that have shaped Sicilian viticulture over the centuries. This is a dark and impenetrable wine that is packed tight with brooding dark fruit and thick aromas of prune and plum. The wine flaunts a dense and richly extracted style. Evident aromas of tobacco, Spanish cedar, barbecue smoke and tar appear at the back.
