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 |

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.

Orma 2016
95Orma is the perfect assemblage of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, grape varieties that have found in these surroundings their perfect habitat. These gently-sloping hills boast deep soils composed largerly of pebble and clay; with very little sand, cool soils that resist the heat of recent seasons, while the nearby Mediterranean tempers the heat coming from inland, cooling the summers and softening the winters. The grapes are hand-picked and vinified according to the dictates of tradition: a fermentation of some 15 days, followed by maceration, with frequent punchdowns and pumpovers, followed by a full year spent in French oak barriques.
| "Full body, round and velvety tannins and a flavorful finish. Tight and focused right now." James Suckling 95/100 |
