A very difficult vintage for the Sicilian viticulture. Climate occurrence that has encouraged massive attacks of mildew that has led to loss of production. However, the fewer bunches per vine, brought to an excellent quality of the product. Harvest very early especially for whites.

85 Points for a wine that suffered from the vintage. Still very palatable and a good example of a Sicilian Nero d'Avola.
