Nero d'Avola (50%), Syrah (50%)
Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧

This wine shows an intense ruby red color and nuances purple red, moderate transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean and pleasing aromas that start with hints of blackberry, black cherry and plum followed by aromas of violet, black currant, raspberry and blueberry. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of blackberry, black cherry and plum. This wine ages in steel tanks. Placido Rizzotto Rosso comes from lands confiscated to the mafia and it is dedicated to the corleonese unionist who gave his life for the freedom of his land from mafia's oppression.
