Hauner Terre Siciliane Rosso Hiera 2017 750 ML

A pretty Sicilian red with dried hibiscus and rose petals, as well as the ubiquitous glazed, dark cherries. Round and juicy, but with enough tannin bite to be quite structured and elegant.n Producer Informationn In the 1980s, Carlo inaugurated a brand new winery at Lingua, in the commune of Santa Marina Salina, with temperature-controlled equipment, stainless steel vats and tanks, oak barrels and barriques, totaling 1,200 hectoliters in capacity. The Hauner winery acted as a magnet and a catalyst to critics, wine writers, enologists, other growers and the media: Carlo Hauner had triggered a renaissance not only of the islands’ most celebrated wine but of the islands themselves, which in due course were inscribed in UNESCO’s World Heritage List. After the state-of-the-art new winery was implemented, the Hauner range saw several additions. In February 1996, Carlo Hauner, Sr.’s demise did not put an end to the winery’s exceptional story thanks to Carlo’s dynamic son, Carlo Hauner, Jr., who is flanked by general manager Gianfranco Sabbatino.
