Aulico Winery is part of a larger entity, Cantine Ermes. This cooperative has become one of Italy's leading winemakers. And yet, Cantine Ermes hasn't even existed for a quarter of a century; we call that impressive. It began in the Belice Valley, in western Sicily near the famous city of Marsala. Several winegrowers were left in ashes after a violent earthquake. In the summer of 1998, they decided to collaborate intensively to try and make something of themselves. The cooperative has continued to grow every year. Cantine Ermes now has nearly 2,400 members, making it one of the largest players in Italian wine.
Lovers of the Nero d'Avola grape will be delighted with this red wine from Aulico. A classic that encapsulates all the qualities of a fine glass of Nero d'Avola. Deep purple notes envelop us upon pouring. The aroma is unmistakably Sicilian: zesty yet fruity, with a lively acidity. Freshly picked raspberries and tart red cherries are clearly evident in the aroma and taste. The velvety tannins give this Aulico Nero d'Avola Sicilia the necessary power.
