Calicanto Zibibbo Terre Siciliane Igt wine

Packaging: 6 bottles of 0.75 liters

One winter day a robin,
tired and frozen by the frost,
he was looking for a solid branch
that would allow him to rest
for a few hours sheltered from
last leaves yellowing
and not yet torn
from the wind, before continuing
the flight to warmer climates
but all the trees refused
to host it. The Calicanto
taking pity on him, he welcomed him under his arms
last leaves to heat it.

Hence the name Calicanto to our wine Calicanto Zibibbo Terre Siciliane Igt
