Full-bodied, warm reds with deep colour and generous alcohol, with aromas of blackberry, black cherry jam, plum, liquorice, chocolate and Mediterranean spice. Ripe tannins and a broad, sunny finish. The star of Sicily (Nero d'Avola Sicilia DOC, Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG blended with Frappato, Eloro DOC). Native Sicilian variety, also called Calabrese, the most planted on the island.
IGT covering the volcanic Aeolian archipelago north-east of Sicily (Salina island at its heart). Malvasia delle Lipari is the signature indigenous white — historically as an enchanting passito (≥18°) with intense notes of apricot, honey, candied citrus and dried fruit, now also in a dry and mineral version with citrus, herbs and a saline-volcanic touch. Corinto Nero, Catarratto, Inzolia and Nerello Cappuccio as complementary varieties.
