Black D'Avola Alcamo DOC

The Nero d'Avola Alcamo DOC BIO comes from Bosco Falconeria, an organic family-run farm active since 1933, a few kilometers from Palermo with a view of the Gulf of Castellammare. Since 1989, the company has been officially converted to organic — a choice made out of conviction, not fashion, which results in healthy vineyards and wines that tell the story of unfiltered Sicily.

The grapes are hand-picked at the beginning of September and spontaneously ferment on the skins in steel. Nine months of aging in steel, then bottled. No wood, no artificial concentration — just Nero d'Avola in its most direct and territorial character.

The color is intense red. The nose reveals ripe cherry, red fruit, and a spicy note. On the palate, it is velvety and appropriately tannic, with a structure that balances strength and finesse. The finish is persistent and warm, typically Sicilian.
