"Microcosmo has a ruby color, often lighter than many other Sicilian reds. To the nose, complex aromas of red ripe fruit merge into sweet bay-leaf and oriental spices: cinnamon, ginger, incense and star anise, then dried fruit, baked black olives, and salted capers. It is dry and very persistent to the palate. - Winemaker’s notes
