Grape variety: Nero d'Avola
Siccagno is Arianna´s Nero d’Avola, born from those concentrated grapes which we precisely call Siccagna. Nero relates mostly Sicily, that it is wild, but it is also fresh and elegant and it is red fruit flavoured. That it has something noble and aristocratic, but it is also melancholic as a poet or a philosopher. That it is passionate, full of warmth and contrasts. The Nero which is the grape of Sicilian fathers and unites Sicily from corner to corner and it better gathers the spirit for centuries. A wine which Arianna deeply love and since the first year it has always been with her.
