Nero d’Avola - Perricone DOC Sicilia 2021

Giato Nero d’Avola - Perricone is the result of only the most representative native grapes of western Sicily and derives its name from the ancient district that surrounded the wonderful Greek theater on Monte Jato. A place that dominates the valley of the river of the same name, the Belice plateau and the most important nucleus of the Centopassi vineyards.

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.
