Vanita Nero d'Avola Sicilia

Just the label alone makes our Italian hearts beat faster; it's truly a beauty. But the Organico-grown red wine made from the Nero d'Avola grape is more than just a treat. It all begins in the old vineyards of Vanita on the island of Sicily. The old, thick stems are deeply rooted, allowing them to easily absorb moisture from the rich soil. This makes them well-suited to the hot afternoons of Sicilian summers. The Nero d'Avola receives ample sunshine, and the ripening process is gradual. Fortunately, the wind from the sea blows over and through the vineyards, cooling and slowing the ripening process. Without the wind, the grapes would ripen too quickly and would be less able to develop powerful flavors and aromas. The latter, however, has been achieved: a red wine with both softness and power.
