Perricone: Sicily’s bold and elegant rebel
Amid the sun-drenched vineyards stretching between Trapani and Palermo, a hidden gem thrives—Perricone. Also known as Pignatello, this native Sicilian grape isn’t one to follow trends. It marches to the beat of its own drum, winning hearts with its raw charm and unmistakable character.
Rustic? Yes—but with class. Perricone tells stories of sun, wind, and ancient soils through bold notes of ripe plum, black cherry, black pepper, wild herbs, and sometimes even a touch of licorice. On the palate, it's firm but friendly, with grippy tannins and a soul that speaks pure Sicily.
Not a show-off, but give it grilled meats, wild boar ragù, or aged cheeses, and it shines like a star.
At Vino45, Perricone is ready to win you over with its rebellious elegance. Whether you're chasing bold new flavors or looking to explore Sicily’s lesser-known treasures, this native red is a deliciously daring choice—one sip at a time.
