Merlot Terre Siciliane IGT
What makes the southern Italian island of Sicily the perfect place to grow grapes is its warm and inviting Mediterranean climate, unique soils and centuries of winemaking history. And even international varieties, such as Merlot and Pinot Grigio, thrive in this very special terroir. Once you combine all this with winemakers whose main goal is to create top qualities wines, then you’ll have Triche’, Gustinvest’s newest line.
The symbol on the label is the Trinacria, the emblem of Sicily. It shows the head of Medusa and three legs, which represent the three corners, Peloro, Passero, and Lilibeo, of the triangular island. Three ears of wheat represent its fertile soil.
