Cartesiano Rosso: the harmony of thanksgiving according to Casa Vinicola Fazio comes from the aroma of spices, the laid table, and the warmth of a celebration that brings people together.
Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude, authentic conviviality, and the slow pace that accompanies conversations and full glasses. It is in this spirit that Casa Vinicola Fazio proposes to celebrate the famous American holiday by toasting with its Cartesiano Rosso, a wine that speaks the language of balance and harmony—perfect for uniting cultures and palates.
We are in Erice, in an area characterized by unspoiled nature that—on one side—looks out and admires the beauty of the Stagnone di Marsala, the salt pans that stretch as far as Trapani, and the wonderful Egadi Islands, and on the other side, the Sicilian hinterland with Erice dominating the Trapani countryside from above, revealing the diversity that this land offers in every corner.
Casa Vinicola Fazio was founded in the late 1990s by a family that has been dedicated to the art of vine cultivation and the production of quality wines, an authentic expression of their terroir, for four generations. In just over twenty years, the company has become a benchmark for Sicilian wine, appreciated both in Italy and abroad thanks to the work carried out in symbiosis by Lilly Ferro—a woman of Sicilian wine, the face and sole administrator of the company—and by the founding partners who, with their knowledge and experience, have contributed to the creation of a quality wine company on the island.
A Bordeaux blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon, enriched with 10% Nero d’Avola, Cartesiano Rosso is the result of careful hillside viticulture and aging in French oak barrels, which gives it roundness and depth. The nose opens with hints of wild berries, black cherry, and sweet spices, while the palate is distinguished by its silkiness and complexity, with sumptuous yet velvety tannins and a long finish with spicy and ripe fruit notes.
Perfect for serving at the Thanksgiving table, Cartesiano Rosso elegantly accompanies red meats, roasts, and turkey, enhancing each course with its harmonious structure and enveloping character. It is a wine that invites sharing, accompanying the meal without ever overpowering it, in perfect balance.
With a limited production of just 6,000 bottles, Cartesiano Rosso represents one of the most refined expressions of the Fazio philosophy: to enhance the territory of western Sicily through elegant, modern wines with a strong identity.
A thank you in a bottle, to offer and share.
