Librandi Duca San Felice
Wine Description
Made from 100% Gaglioppo, a key indegenous varietal. After harvest, the grapes are macerated in contact with the skins for 15 days to ensure greater color and tannin extraction. Temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks provides explosive fruit flavors and sustained structure. Released on the market after three years of aging.
