Saia, its name taken from the Arab word for the irrigation canals built centuries ago to collect rainwater, is made with 100 percent Nero d’Avola, an extraordinary grape capable of producing intense, full bodied wines. The alberello method of cultivation and the aging in French oak make it a wine that stands alone in its category.

Nero d’Avola
Nero d’Avola, an extraordinary native Sicilian grape; fermented and macerated in steel, exuberant and at ease, right for every occasion and easy to drink. In the steps of the southern Italian rural tradition of finishing the wine of the last vintage before beginning to drink that of the next.

Moscato bianco
Great sweet wine can’t miss in a cellar intending to preserve the best traditions of Sicilian wine. Especially a wine expression of the character of a magic grape, in perfect harmony with the island like Moscato. A wine that enchants and reminds of the Baroque town of Noto, rich, wonderful impact, yet alanced and refined.
Olli 2021
Feudo Maccari’s challenge continues, the climb to absolute quality of Sicilian wine has a stage among whites, not any one, of course, but a great interpreter of classic island grapevines, always faithful and versatile companion of many styles and names. A pure Grillo then, that bewitches for the ability to speak an ancient language, archaic in some ways, in a totally contemporary version.
Family and Friends 2020
Grillo is a very versatile variety which, thanks to its characteristics, has a good potential for ageing and enjoys different vinifications. That is why Dott Moretti Cuseri tried to age it in wood and drink it just with his family and friends, who really appreciated it. As it was very successful, from 2015 he decided to launch it on the market.
