President Roberto Caruso states ‘we are very pleased to participate in Taormina Gourmet, one of the main local showcases to make Assuli wines known, a way to promote our Classics and also our Newcomers with which to discover the different regional aspects of Perricone. A grape variety we strongly believe in, which has its roots fully in the Sicilian background. Therefore alongside FURIOSO, our first Perricone in purity that ages 12 months in large oak barrels, FIORDISPINA, 100% Perricone in rosé version, and ARCODACE, another Perricone in purity aged entirely in steel containers for 4-5 months. So we are still betting on this autochthonous grape that is giving us a lot of satisfaction. We are waiting for you to try them all!’.
Sergio Ardito, Sales Director Italy, repeats’We are proud to present the tangible result of a great team effort, it is the Sicily of white, red and pink wine glasses that has received important awards, ambassador of a quality wine offer. Last but not least, the golden hat–trick at the MUNDUS VINI Competition with Furioso ’19, Dardinello ’21 and Arcodace ’21 on the highest podium and several prizes for Fiordispina ’21 launched on the market in March: bronze medal at the Vinitaly Design International Packaging Competition, 90 points Falstaff Sizilien Trophy, Silver Medal at the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles ‘.
