Sicily, Italy

Perricone

Perripò is a bold but brilliantly fresh take on Sicily’s lesser-known native Perricone grape. Expect juicy red cherry, wild herbs, a bit of smoky spice and a faint earthy edge. It’s medium-bodied with bright acidity and soft tannins — rustic but refined, with plenty of charm.

Spot on with grilled aubergine, sausage pasta or anything off the barbecue. Serve it slightly cool and let it show off its laid-back Sicilian soul — a proper food wine with personality to spare.
