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.
| “This is a dark, plump and exuberant expression of Sicily’s mighty Nero d’Avola grape with a long delivery of ripe fruit to keep your attention.” Wine Advocate 91/100 |
| “Full body, firm and silky tannins and a polished and caressing finish. Lovely length and texture. One of the best ever from here.” James Suckling 94/100 |

Volé Mosso 2016
It is a blend of Nero d'Avola and Frappato grapes that shows characteristic of both varieties: the pleasant acidity of the first one underpinned by the juicy fruit of the second offer a unique and distinctive fizzy red, to drink cold.

Vigna di Pallino 2016
90The Chianti Vigna di Pallino takes its name from the grower who, for many years, lovingly looked after this vineyard, already present on cadastral maps dating to the beginning of the 1800’s. From the heart of the estate, produced largely with Sangiovese and without the use of oak, it is a wine that represents the historic continuity of the estate and the traditions of the region.
| "Lots of fruit and freshness, fresh acidity and a clean and delicious finish. What Chianti should be." James Suckling 90/100 |

3Tuscan Sangiovese wine arises with a long, gentle maceration of about a month aimed at exalting all the noble components of the grapes, picked at the perfect phenolic maturity in order to exult the particular qualities of this Tuscan Sangiovese wine: this is why Vigna dell’Impero is a unique wine.
| "Lovely acidity to this. Long and thoughtful wine. All about length and beauty. Pure old-vine sangiovese." James Suckling 97/100 |
| "Ample and intense, while still maintaining a good deal of Sangiovese translucence, the 2013 exudes richness and pedigree." Vinous 94/100 |
| "It is a gorgeous expression of Sangiovese. I am impressed. The 2013 vintage offers a very smooth and silky approach." Wine Advocate 93/100 |

Sultana 2014
NA 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.
