Cubburo

Description

The name “Cubburo” sounds ancient and mysterious, like a trip back in time to the millenary history of Sicily and its farming culture. These “Cubburi”, archaic buildings with a tholos shape, are scattered all over the Sicilian countryside, silent witnesses of a remote past. One of them is located right in our winery’s estate, a suggestive presence that reminds us of the deep roots of our land and the winemaking tradition that has been passed down from father to son for generations. Why “Cubburo”? To pay homage to this symbol of rural Sicily, to preserve the memory of the past and to transmit the value of our history to the new generations. Every sip of our Cubburo embodies the essence of this land: the scent of the Sicilian sun, the taste of tradition and the passion for wine that has always animated us. So, what are you waiting for? Taste the Cubburo and let yourself be carried away by its history, its tradition and its unique taste.

Cubburo is our bold blend of Nero d’Avola and Syrah grapes. This certified organic wine is crafted from the finest selection of each variety, resulting in a truly unique and unforgettable experience. Feast your eyes on its vibrant ruby red color with shimmering garnet hues. Nurture your nose with an explosion of fruity aromas, dominated by hints of red berries, currants, and ripe cherries. Delicate nuances of liquorice, dark chocolate, and vanilla add to the wine’s intriguing complexity. Prepare your palate for a journey of velvety smoothness. The well-integrated tannins provide a pleasant structure, while the vibrant freshness and acidity perfectly balance the wine’s softness. Savor the long and persistent finish, marked by spicy and mineral notes that leave an indelible impression. Pair Cubburo with hearty dishes like pasta with meat or game sauces, or indulge in a second course of red meat, game, or aged cheeses. This is not just a wine, it’s a taste of Sicily, a story of passion, and a moment to be savored.
