✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the warm, sun-drenched coastal areas of southern Sicily, Cantine Nicosia's 'Sabbie di Sutta 395 Miglia' is a vibrant tribute to the island's maritime history and unique sandy terroirs. The name 'Sabbie di Sutta' translates to 'sands from below' in the local dialect, referencing the deep, sandy soils of the region that impart a distinctive elegance, bright acidity, and fine-grained tannins to the vines. '395 Miglia' evokes the legendary sailing distance along the Sicilian coastline, tracing the historic trade routes of ancient Phoenician and Greek mariners who first brought viticulture to these shores. Unlike the dense, heavy reds often associated with the island's interior, this wine is crafted to showcase a fresher, more perfumed, and graceful style. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its primary fruit character, it beautifully captures the essence of coastal Mediterranean breezes, wild scrub, and sun-ripened red berries.
