Borgo Selene Rosso

Anyone who has ever visited the beautiful island of Sicily is undoubtedly familiar with Curatolo Arini's Marsala wines. This is what made the winery so successful, starting in 1860, just after the French Bourbon dynasty. Mr. Vito Curatolo Arini initially sold his grapes to other wineries but then went into business for himself. He founded the winery in his hometown of Marsala to produce the finest Marsala wines. And he succeeded, as the Marsala wines are highly sought after. But that's not the only reason people are so in love with them; they also produce exquisite wines under the Borgo Selene label. This red is also very popular on the island and boasts a warm and refined character.
