Villa Tonino Nero d'Avola Sicily
Description: This wine is a blend of fruit sourced from two different vineyards, one near Marsala and the other in central Sicily. The grapes from the former region, normally an area regarded as being too cool for Nero d'Avola, have given vibrancy and an aromatic dimension to the wine, while the latter, a hotter, drier zone, provides the colour, weight and structure. The blend makes for a startlingly good wine: deep coloured, ripe and peppery on the nose and full and fleshy on the palate. The Curatolo family use Alberto Antonini as their consultant, in order to have at hand the modern winemaking skills required to allow the Nero d'Avola, one of Sicily's most exciting indigenous grape varieties, to express its maximum potential. Antonini chose the fruit carefully and used refrigeration and inert gas both to preserve and protect the flavours that had accumulated under the hot Sicilian sun. (12 x 75 cl)
Price: £76.63

Villa Tonino INZOLIA Sicily

It is refreshing and individual, and is probably the most exciting wine we have tasted. Though modern in style, the clarity of the fruit retains a distinctly Sicilian character. (12 x 75 cl)
