Giato Nero d’Avola - Perricone DOC Sicilia 2024

Radio Aut was the free radio that Peppino had founded in Cinisi. In its programs, mafiosi and accomplice politicians were mocked, spreading a message of justice, freedom and courage. A message that, instead, will never die.

It is dedicated to vine growers who, with endless passion, support the recovery and the valorization of a territory, its social tissue, and its traditions, contributing to the common good of generations.
