NERO D'AVOLA wine
DOC
This Nero d'Avola wine comes from the oldest vineyards facing south-east. A beautiful ruby red, it combines intense aromas of black fruits with floral nuances, accompanied by sweet spicy notes. A pleasantly savory and tannic wine. Consistency and sweetness are supported by a good acidic vein.

In the seventeenth century, after an earthquake, one of the most destroyed Sicilian cities was rebuilt in the shape of a hexagon by a Jesuit architect who designed a fortress against adversity with symmetrical streets, low buildings and a large central space.
This wine, born between the woods and the reeds, is inspired by such an example of balance and foresight. Carefully selected, bunch by bunch, so that only the best remains: the rounded taste, the perfect balance of structure and aromas.
Ex is a warm wine, full of character, but smooth in the mouth, in which nature and architecture coexist, a solid construction principle and all the sweetness of an ancient river.
