Sicily magical place, where the scents, the colors, the flavors of a unique land dance with life, envelop you in an irresistible and inebriating atmosphere. Centuries of delicacies to be tasted slowly.
Nero d’Avola is Sicily’s oldest native grape and rightly deserving of the high acclaim which it now receives.
Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio are smaller players amongst Sicily’s leading red grapes but are key natives around Mount Etna. The two are blended to create Etna Rosso.
Cerasuolo di Vittoria, which blends Frappato and Nero d’Avola, is more famous in the south east around Ragusa.
Other red grapes include Calabrese, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah (originally from southern France).
It is very interesting to note how the aromatic characteristics of this grape are highly influnced by pedoclimate of the area.
The sun and the favourable climate means these grapes produce extraordinary wines with extraordinary flavours and colours, ensuring they bear DOC status.
Among the crus of Tenuta delle Terre Nere, Guardiola is the one with the most powerful and original character. The high altitude of the vineyards, 800-1000 meters, and the consequent aridity of the soils exacerbate the acidity of the wine and accentuate its tannins. Therefore, it takes longer to relax and express itself.
A single varietal wine produced from Nero d’Avola grapes, first produced on the sinuous and well-ventilated hills of the Suor Marchesa estate, in the hinterland of the southern part of Sicily, where grapes reach full maturity under the late September sun.
Produced from Nero d'Avola grapes grown in Camporeale, 16 Filari di Case Alte is a well-structured Sicilian organic wine, with fruity and spicy tones.
Colour: Ruby red Bouquet: Red cherry flavour, raspberry and small red fruits mainly black currant and blueberry Taste: In the mouth is soft and elegant, rightly tannic
A unique partnering of Sicily's classic grape, the Nero d'avola, with Cabernet Sauvignon at low yield cultivation, produces A'Nserra, a wine of remarkable structure. This wine is classically Mediterranean and thoroughly modern in style.
Merlot grapes from distinguished dry land sites have made a wine with a strong deep purple colour and lifted plum and spice aromas. The palate starts deep, with dark elegant and spicy flavours. Barrel fermentation has given dimension and texture to the dark cherry fruit and leads to a concentrated and persistent finish.
Sole dei Padri is pure Syrah, maybe more than 100%, from a single vineyard, 400 meters above sea level. We produce 7,000 bottles of it.
Perfect combination of quality and tradition, Altavilla della Corte Cabernet Sauvignon di Firriato expresses itself in the maximum of its personality to pay homage to the French native land and the adoptive one, Sicily.
Among the international vines, Syrah has found in the Tenuta di Borgo Guarini, on the western coast of Sicily, an ideal habitat to express all the characteristics that distinguish it. The deep ruby red mantle of Altavilla della Corte Syrah anticipates the typical spicy notes of the grape's bouquet and stands out for its warm and Mediterranean soul.
Amongae is the name of an ancient chalice that greek mythology relies on the virtue of truth. Find a right match with dishes of Ragusa, red meats, roasts and stews game, mature cheeses.
