A really charming, traditional wine from the vineyards of Sicily. A wine that highlights the unique characteristics of that region at a very special price. MORE INFO
TCD Score: 85/100
A score of 85 for a "classic" from Sicily. Nero d'Avola is one of the most famous products of the region. There are very few bottles that reach DOC status, indeed only one DOC is imported into the states. We are proud to have a DOC in this variety especially at this price.
100% Nero d'Avola (known also with the name "Calabrese").

Still quite a young dessert wine but from an interesting vintage. The Liqouroso is a fine offering from this vineyard.
Very good dessert wine. The Moscato from Sicily has such a varied bouquet and taste that it is definately something to take your time over and enjoy. MORE INFO
