Pietre a Purtedda da Ginestra

Rosso DOC Sicilia 2021

This wine originates from the saplings of Nerello Mascalese and Nocera that emerge among the rocks, at almost one thousand meters above sea level. These saplings look at the sea across the boundless horizon of the Jato valley.

It is dedicated to the memory of the victims of the Portella della Ginestra massacre.
