Azimut Merlot Menfi DOC 2017 - Cantine Barbera
€13.18
VAT included
Azimut, our first wine.
Expected and cherished like a dream that takes shape, which then becomes possible and finally becomes concrete with the passion and work of every day.
Azimut, from the Arabic as-sumuth which means direction: because being a winemaker is not just a job, but implies a profound and conscious choice of life.
Our experimentation with wild yeasts began with Azimut, of which very little was said in Sicily at the time, and this is why it was considered an extreme wine from the outset, with a little international personality.
