From the bottle:

Our family has crafted wines in Sicily for over 160 years. Sherazade is a pleasant and fragrant red wine with a red fruit bouquet and caressing tannins. Best served slightly chilled at 15-16C (61-64F).

13% Alcohol

The 2018 Donnafugata Sherazade Nero d’Avola begins with a wonderfully aromatic bouquet full of sour cherry and other assorted berries along with really nice touches of herbs, spice and flowers. The medium-bodied wine tastes fresh with lots of fleshy, sour and juicy fruit wrapped up in a smooth texture with slightly chewy tannins. Absolutely delicious with excellent touches of herbs and spice throughout, bring on the pizza! It ends dry, grippy and long.
