Nero D’Avola Versace

Paolo Panerai is the enlightened entrepreneur to whom we owe the success of a historic Chianti Classico winery such as Castellare di Castellina, and the birth of the Feudi del Pisciotto winery which extends for 44 hectares on the hills between Caltagirone and Piazza Armerina in the heart of Sicily. The main grape is Nero d’Avola, and the winery is characterized by the historic millstone in which wine was made already at the time of the Greeks and Romans. It’s here that 250 meters above sea level, a few kilometers from the coast where a perfect microclimate reigns, the vines are cultivated with obsessive care and excellent wines are produced from Cerasuolo di Vittoria to Frappato, from Chardonnay to Merlot that make Feudi del Pisciotto one of the most significant winemaking realities of the island. Worthy of note is the collection dedicated to the Great Stylists who sign the individual labels in a tribute to wine and fashion, and part of the proceeds from sales are reinvested for the recovery of a Sicilian work of art or monument.

Nero d’Avola is the variety that more than the others embodies the aromas and character of Sicily. It’s the result of the selection of the best grapes from the vineyards of Niscemi, which already from the first vintage of 2007 showed its strong personality despite the young age of the vines. The label conceived by Donatella Versace depicts the logo of the fashion house, expressing strength, identity and intense colors, all the best qualities of Sicily. An excellent and long-lived red that goes perfectly with red meats, game and aged cheeses.
