The story<\/h2>\n

Vittoriosa is the name given to ancient Birgu after the Great Siege of 1565. Perched on a promontory facing Valletta, it is where the Order of Malta organised its defence against the Ottoman army.<\/p>\n

Phoenicians, Romans and Arabs had already left their mark on those rocks. The Knights added their own, and the name Vittoriosa sealed the valour of that resistance for ever.<\/p>\n

The red blend that bears this name is born at Castello di Magione from Merlot and Pinot Noir grapes. In production since 2011.<\/p>\n

Around 6,600 bottles.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
