Poggio Graffetta Syrah

The warm, dry, always ventilated climate and the temperatures mitigated by the sea breeze make this a natural and optimal area for wine grape production. The subsoil enhances the fruit characteristics and concentration of Syrah, which is highly suitable here, alongside the area’s main grape, Nero d’Avola.
