This rich, barrel-aged Nero d'Avola is known here as Sicily's ‘earthquake red’ – a rich and popular Sicilian red with a great back story!
In 1968 western Sicily was rocked by an earthquake. The devastation meant residents of Poggioreale had no choice but to abandon their properties and rebuild further down the hill. Whole settlements became ghost towns overnight. This included Dino’s grandfather’s Nero d’Avola vineyards.
50 years on, Dino set out to recover his grandfather’s lost plot of land. He found it wild and uncultivated, yet producing jewel-like grapes with amazing flavour.
In 2017 he made his first ‘revived’ vintage which proved a sensation with customers. It's pure Nero d’Avola, a Sicilian grape, fast becoming a fashionable pick in smart restaurants across the UK. Dino’s creation is packed with rich black fruits and spice. A top choice with a wide variety of dishes.
