Segreante is a 100% Syrah, grown on the coasts of Western Sicily. On the palate it shows a strong personality, which combines the enveloping strength of the varietal with the typical spicy note, elegance and balance. It owes its name to the heraldic tradition that defines Segreante (rampant) the griffin engraved on the company emblem, a symbol of power and beauty.
