Cantine Nicosia have been making wine in south and eastern Sicily for well over a century and successfully focus on getting the best out of the island’s native grape varieties. This lively red is from their organic range and is made from 100% Frappato grown in the vineyards around Vittoria near the southern tip of the island. No added sulphites are used and to keep everything as fresh and bright as possible it’s aged just in stainless steel before a further brief maturation in bottle for a couple of months before release. The result is a wine with delicate and lightly floral aromas of strawberry, redcurrant and wild berries, with hints of aromatic herbs. The palate has bright red berry characters balanced with a crisp fresh acidity giving a real vibrancy and vivacity right to the finish.

Description

About Cantine Nicosia Wines

It was way back in 1898 when Francesco Nicosia, the great-grandfather of the current owner, decided to open the first wine shop in Trecastagni, on the eastern side of Etna. Golden times for Etna wine which was already known and appreciated throughout Europe for its mineral strength and its “volcanic” personality.

The decisive entrepreneurial turning point took place at the end of the 20th century, thanks to the tenacity and innovative spirit of the current owner, Carmelo Nicosia, who, by investing in the expansion and restructuring of the vineyards and in the construction of a modern cellar, would bring the family business to be the protagonist of the rebirth of Sicilian wine.

Today Cantine Nicosia is a dynamic, modern and efficient company, capable of looking to the future in full respect of tradition, at the helm of which Carmelo Nicosia is supported by his two sons Francesco and Graziano, by a close-knit team of young collaborators and, last but not least, by the oenologist Maria Carella, an authentic interpreter of the company’s production philosophy.

Cantine Nicosia favors the finest native vines and the international varieties best adapted to Sicily, promoting the territory with full respect for the environment and enhancing the raw material with careful selection of the grapes and constant attention to the work in the cellar.
A long journey towards excellence, to produce wines worthy of representing, in Italy and in the world, the best Sicilian wine tradition.
