A bold, sun-ripened taste of Sicily, from a family with over 75 years of winemaking tradition.

 

Lannì is an authentic Sicilian DOC red blend from Alagna Vini, a family-owned winery in Marsala on the island’s sun-drenched western coast. Here, warm Mediterranean days, cool coastal breezes, and mineral-rich soils create the perfect environment for producing wines of depth and character.

 

Crafted from Nero d’Avola, Syrah and Merlot, the grapes are picked at peak ripeness and matured for at least six months in oak casks, some previously used for fortified wines. This unique ageing imparts warmth, spice, and a subtle tobacco complexity, making it a truly distinctive choice.

  • Versatile food pairing – perfect with roasts, stews, game, hearty pasta or mature cheeses.
