Nero d’Avola DOC Sicilia 2022

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 Peppino Impastato, a young Sicilian murdered by the mafia in 1978, whose ideas still impassion those who love freedom.
