Bacaro Nero d'Avola Terre Siciliane

For this Italian feast, we're crossing the Strait of Messina, the waterway that connects mainland Italy with the largest and most beautiful island in the Mediterranean. The island itself offers an adventurous experience. Fortunately, its wines are just as adventurous, featuring, of course, the characterful Nero d'Avola, which dominates the vineyards in Sicily.

The Nero D'Avola in Sicily

Sicily's wine history is centuries old. Many peoples have dominated the island: the Normans, the Moors, and the Byzantines. Wine was produced during all the periods of their rule, with particular success during the Arab period. This centuries-long winemaking history has ensured that modern Sicilian wines are truly high-quality wines. They possess depth, complexity, and flavor. This is partly due to the great success of the winery behind Bacaro Nero D'Avola: Cantina Cellaro. Cantina Cellaro is a massive cooperative that brings together countless local Sicilian winemakers. By producing at a large scale, they can export a continuous flow of high-quality wines. Cantina Cellaro now boasts over 1,700 hectares, making it one of the largest wineries. Because the winery has so many vineyards, only the finest bunches are used in the Bacaro Nero d'Avola Terre Siciliane.
