Nero d’Avola is Siciliy’s most precious red grape and one of Italy’s most important indigenous varietals. Until the 1980s it was  almost exclusively used to add colour and weight to the lighter reds of France and Northern Italy as it had a tendency to run to alcohol. However modern techniques, both in the vineyard and in the winery, allow winemakers nowadays to maintain the inherent varietal character without the overwhelming alcohol. As a result Nero is often compared to Shiraz, with smooth fruit flavours and very approachable tannins.

Deep, full aromas of red cherry, herbs, sweet liquorice and cocoa. Then a concentrated, bright and suave palate, with rich, deep, supple flavours similar to the aromas. Very long, with vibrant acidity; great wine.

From the countryside of Dorilli, between the sea and the Iblean mountains, known as the centre of excellence for Sicilian food, comes our Cerasuolo di Vittoria. The name of the only DOCG in Sicily comes from ‘Cerasa’, cherry in Sicilian dialect. It is produced from the indigenous varieties Nero d’Avola and Frappato. A unique wine, recognisable and unforgettable for its youthful flavours and aromas of cherry, strawberry and pomegranate, due to the particular soil and climate in which the grapes are cultivated. A wine which like few others combines tradition and delicious wine.
