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 |

Family and Friends 2017

90Grillo 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.
| "A fabulous wine that pushes the Grillo grape down a road less traveled. This oak-aged expression shows so much more sophistication, style and substance." Wine Advocate 93/100 |
| "Full body and lots of fruit. A rich and flavorful white. Always an exciting white from Sicily." James Suckling 92/100 |
