Cantodoro Sicilia DOC Riserva – Feudo Arancio
COLOUR
Deep ruby red with garnet reflections, showing clarity and a vibrant core that hints at concentration and maturity.
AROMA
Intense and layered, with aromas of ripe red cherries, blackberries, and plums. Notes of sweet spice, vanilla, cocoa, and a touch of tobacco emerge from oak ageing, accompanied by subtle hints of Mediterranean herbs and balsamic nuances.
PALATE
Full-bodied and structured, with well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity. Flavors of dark forest fruits blend seamlessly with toasted oak, chocolate, and gentle spice. The texture is smooth and rounded, leading to a long, elegant, and persistent finish.
CELLARING
Suitable for ageing over the next 5–8 years. While approachable now with decanting, additional cellaring will further soften the tannins and enhance its complexity.

Cantodoro Sicilia DOC Riserva is a powerful and elegant red that pairs beautifully with rich and flavorful dishes. It complements grilled steaks, roasted lamb, and slow-braised beef, as well as hearty pasta dishes with ragù or mushroom-based sauces. Its structure and spice notes also make it an excellent match for aged cheeses such as pecorino or parmigiano reggiano. For a more Mediterranean pairing, try it with eggplant parmigiana or herb-roasted pork. Decant before serving and enjoy slightly below room temperature to fully appreciate its depth and refinement.
