Collection: Organic Nero d'Avola
Nero d'Avola is Sicily's most important indigenous grape variety, originating from the Avola area in the province of Syracuse, where it was already cultivated in Greek times. For centuries it was mainly used as a blending wine — its concentration and intense color were precious for "correcting" paler wines from northern Italy and France. Only in the 1990s, with the qualitative revolution of Sicilian viticulture, did Nero d'Avola conquer the international scene as a monovarietal wine.

Curiosity: The name "Avola" first appears in official documents in 1696, but modern ampelographers believe that the vine was present on the island as early as the Phoenician era. Sicily is currently the Italian region with the largest certified organic vineyard area — over 30% of vineyards are cultivated without synthetic chemicals.
