Curva Minore is a classic Cerasuolo blend of 50% Nero d'Avola and 50% Frappato. Medium-bodied and supple, with vibrant blackberry and black cherry flavors, hints of black tea and white flowers, this bright cherry red beauty achieves a delightful balance of ripeness, freshness and firmness. Perfect with grilled eggplant and ricotta-stuffed arancini or charcuterie board featuring Ibleo Nero salami and prosciutto! Pianogrillo Manor was originally built as a medieval fortress, high on a cliff as a lookout and defense against the Saracens. Since the 1700’s, it’s been a working manor and Baronial estate with cypress and olive groves, assorted cover crops and Ibleo Nero, Sicily’s prized black pigs. Their vineyards are farmed organically on white marl, calcareous, clay-based soil.
