Marco de Bartoli Rosso di Marco
Marco de Bartoli dropped the Bordeaux varities of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot for the local Pignatello and produces a fruit-driven, full-bodied red that matches wonderfully with local Sicilian dishes. The red car on the label is an ode to Marco's former racing days.

Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green
 |
|
| Nose | The nose has intense aromas of red cherries, plums, and earthy undertones. |
| Palate | The palate is full-bodied with more ripe fruit flavours from the nose, the year in oak also adds some sweet spice. Soft tannins and a light, natural acidity provide great structure and balance. Good length on the finish. |
