LANNI’ (DOC sicilia) is a smooth blend of Nero

used to store fortified wines, in order to obtain
tobacco and cherry frangrances.
Grapes are picked late in the season to create
a dark colour and smooth taste. The wine has
10gr of residual sugar and 14% in alcohol. It is
not filtered to have even more flavours.

(A-LA-NI-A) It’s a blend and a name that only
we make.
