Lignum Vitis isn’t your typical Italian red. It’s a modern Sicilian blend of Frappato - the island’s spicy, aromatic native grape - and Shiraz, which brings power and plenty of dark fruit. Crafted under the Terre Siciliane IGT umbrella, it’s bold, expressive and beautifully designed, right down to its iconic wooden veneer label!
This isn’t just a bottle, it’s a statement - and it looks brilliant on your table at a dinner party!
On the nose, Lignum Vetus offers bright red fruit aromas like cherry and raspberry, alongside subtle spice and a soft, savoury edge. In the mouth it’s medium-bodied, smooth and well balanced, with fresh fruit from the Frappato and a little warmth and depth from the Shiraz. Approachable, comforting and easy to enjoy.
