Argille di Tagghia Via

Nero d’Avola DOC Sicilia 2024

This wine is the result of one of the most ancient Sicilian autochthonous vines, borns from the harsh clays of the central Sicilian highlands

It is dedicated to the memory of Danilo Dolci, educator, poet, and leader of nonviolent struggles for a just society, against the mafia, unemployment, and illiteracy.
