Faro from Palari winery is a Sicilian red wine of great elegance and finesse, which conquers for its intensity and complexity. It is one of the most interesting excellences of the island and it is produced on the extreme eastern point of Sicily, facing the Strait of Messina. It has been awarded for 12 times with the 3 Bicchieri Gambero Rosso.

It is the wine of Scylla and Charybdis, produced with the classic grapes of the territory, Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, Nocera and small percentages of other local grapes. The long aging process in barrique, allows the wine to evolve and enrich itself with refined aromatic facets, which make it particularly fascinating. To the perfumes of great finesse, follows a deep, long and dense sip of a thousand aromatic nuances.
