It presents aromas of dried cherry and fig, licorice, toffee, vanilla, baking spices and sweet earthy undertones. The palate is dry and quite juicy with flavours of smoked spices, dried fruits, leather, cocoa and tobacco. Nicely woven with a distinctly rustic character. A wine to partner with hearty pastas, roasted meats and grilled vegetables.

Muddled earth, wild berries and prune plums, toasted spices, cocoa and wild herbal aromas lead to a fresh palate that echos the nose. Wild and rustic with dark cocoa, espresso, charred spices and toasted flavours it's a wine to partner with hearty pastas, roasted meats and grilled vegetables.

Made entirely from Nero d'Avola this everyday red delivers, sweet vanilla and cherry aromas, raspberries, violets, star anise and clove aromas. The palate is as approachable as the nose; fruity and floral with cherry cola and licorice flavours. Quaffable with a strawberry finish and great value.

Organic, oily, fleshy.

The Catarratto grapes are sourced from the north-west corner of Sicily, at Calatafimi, between Marsala and Palermo. The vines grow in high altitude vineyards (around 500m) with chalky soils. The vineyards were converted to organic viticulture in 2005, the wine was mature only in stainless steel.
It's a bright yellow hue and suggests aromas of candle wax, applesauce, dried pineapples and burnt honey. The palate is sleek and oily with flavours of arugula and grilled lemons--it has a fleshy character.
It's a straightforward weekday dinner white.
