Award Winning Sicilian Red with Style!!
Award Winning Sicilian Red with Style!!
Lignum, the ancient Latin word for wood, is the inspiration behind this unexpected Italian blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz from the island of Sicily. The name pays homage to this element of nature that accompanies the wine as it matures over time.
This wine was awarded a Gold Medal in the Mundus Vini Competition and it scored 90 Points "Highly Recommended" in the Ultimate Wine Challenge. They said "Juicy red fruits and dark chocolate arise from the glass. Luscious and jammy on the palate, this wine offers bold swaths of red cherry, sweet spice, and vanilla before finishing with sticky toffee, toasted oak, and pipe tobacco."
Tasting Panel Magazine scored this 91 points saying "A blend of 40% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Shiraz makes this "super" Sicilian wine one to notice. Translated from ancient Latin "Lignum" and accordingly this uniquely authentic wood-crafted label is embellished with cut-outs. Texturally alluring and complex layers of dark chocolate and sandalwood are preceded by aromas of earth and graphite that merge well with the flavor profile. Grainy, melting mocha and a swathe of blackberry plumpness fill the mid-palate and stride through the long finish. This over-delivers on value."
