This winery used to be quite commercial, but with the new generation coming on board they left everything behind.
They turned into a minimal intervention venture.
They inherited the fairly old vines, but the changed approach gives a completely different perspective.
This nero d'Avola is extremely out of the ordinary.
It's bright, crunchy, crisp, luminous, fresg, clean and, to my surprise for when i taste nero d'Avola, very elegant, very French like elegancy.
I think of Beaujolais or of some new style crunchy South Australian grenache.
This wine is fun to drink, not cerebral, i recommend you give it a go. If you don't like it, bring it to me.
Not expensive at all. — a month ago
