Wine with a lovely intense and transparent ruby red color. From the eyes to the nose the color of this wine is transformed into the scent of redcurrant and mulberry, along with a rhythmical and tenuous mentholated ending. The wine’s mouthfeel reveals its essential style in the drinkability encouraged by the vibrant sensations of ripe mixed berries.The very gentle, smooth and velvety tannins make this wine very versatile and multifaceted. It’s best served with light meat dishes, vegetables and seared fish. It can even be paired with caponata: the sweetness of the dish blends in with the aromas of the wine.

The fuchsia color of the strawberries is immediately reminiscent of the most aromatic trace of this rosé: the wild strawberry.

A light floral touch is mixed with the subtle tropical scents, leaving the mouth clean and dry. Perfect when served with olives, toasted almonds or pickled tomatoes, as well as with fish appetizers.

Fiano from calcareous clayey soil which contributes to bringing out the aroma of the Mediterranean maquis so typical of this grape variety. So, in between broom and thyme, we can trace the delicate scents of chamomile, hay and tangerine. Mineral and sapid palate with a silky ending and a very refined aftertaste of ripe apricots, almond blossoms and basil leaves. Best paired with grilled fish and white meat seasoned with aromatic herbs.

Violet and purple in color, the pure expression of Sicilian vineyards, Nero d’Avola, is the ideal accompaniment for grilled meat and vegetables.

The woof and warp of the tannin is soft and seductive. Best served with barbecued meat which goes well with its smoked tones and has a natural sweetness.

A wine that is a medicine, that slowly wins you over. A pure Merlot from a single vineyard, with a structure that’s multifarious, and yet agile in tannins, and with a sapid and intense taste. It has a compact ruby color, rich in blackcurrant juice and candied violet, flavors that alternate with thyme and lavender.This wine combines the pleasantness of the tannin with an extraordinary long taste. Perfect with white meat or delicate fish. We like to serve it with traditional breaded pork rolls and onions.

Icon of the rebirth of Sicilian wine, this pure Chardonnay has the color of light gold and a pleasantly contrasting creaminess and crunchiness.

The mature, soft tannin melts in the mouth thanks to an incredibly fruity sweetness, Oriental spices are combined with the complex flavors of smoked bacon, cooked must, marjoram and prickly pears. Its sapid complexity is an excellent match for stewed fish and meat, but also spicy fish with an Asian touch.

From white lands and ancient vineyards is born one of the purest expressions of Nero d’Avola. Spicy, with the scent of jasmine, bergamot and orange rind, the fruit is mature on the palate, melting gently as it matches a thickly patterned but calibrated tannin with the structure of this deep­ noted wine. The traces of graphite bestow it with a high lineage in taste, while the wild blackberry and cherry keep the wine to a register of great stylistic rigor and taste. This is a wine that can even be paired with intense meat dishes.

After a slightly late harvest, a drying phase, which lasts about a month and a half, and the loss of 50% of its original weight, a high concentration of sugars is obtained, along with some enzymatic reactions that contribute to the extraordinary fragrance of dried rose petals, jasmine and papaya.

Ideally paired with every kind of dessert, but especially with cookies possibly enriched with dried fruit.
