From vineyard to bottle

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

La Calla is a highly respected winemaker in Italy. Its vineyards in northern Italy, in Veneto, are renowned. However, Calla also has many vineyards in the somewhat unknown island of Sicily. Italian winemaking has been flourishing for several decades. Sicily's wines have lagged behind somewhat, having a reputation for being cheap, mass-produced wines. Fortunately, the tide has turned. Nero d'Avola, the local pride, is gaining international popularity, and there has been significant innovation and investment in the vineyards on this dazzling island.

The popularity of Sicilian wines today is largely attributable to one grape: Nero d'Avola. This characteristic grape thrives in Sicily thanks primarily to its unique conditions. The slightly volcanic soil and ideal climate ensure that Nero d'Avola grapes ripen optimally. The sun-drenched days, combined with the fresh sea breeze, prove to be excellent for the development of the grapes. The grapes are harvested by hand in the early morning. This is done for two reasons. At this time, the grapes are still very fresh and the risk of oxidation is reduced. Furthermore, the harvest is done by hand to ensure proper selection. Only the finest bunches are ever selected for this La Calla Nero d'Avola.

When you smell this red wine, you're instantly transported to idyllic Italy. You daydream about cultural cities, rugged landscapes, and exquisite food. A single sip of La Calla Nero d'Avola evokes emotions you never knew existed. This is what they call infatuation. A warm bouquet of black fruit, ripe plums, chocolate, and fresh Italian herbs delights your nose. The flavor is powerful yet incredibly smooth. A warm and sultry palate tickles your taste buds. You'll taste ripe cherries, blackcurrants, and fresh blackberries. A hint of toffee gives you a velvety finish. La Calla Nero d'Avola is truly a Sicilian gem.
