Description
Nero d'Avola is the expression of a particular vine native to Sicily. It has been of fundamental importance in the production of many Sicilian wines for centuries, however, its use as a blending wine prevailed. And it was only from the 1970s onwards that serious experimentation on this vine finally began, in order to study it and valorise it. Today, this wine is defined as the prince of Sicilian grape varieties.

The post was given to him by Giacomo Tachis (the creator of Tingnaello, Sassicaiai and other great Italian wines), at the time a consultant to the aforementioned body, who, led by a handful of young Sicilian oenologists and agronomists, began experimenting with the planting of new grape varieties hitherto unknown in Sicily.
It was at the beginning of the 2000s that Bruno finally succeeded in realising his dream, a new modern and rational wine cellar that would allow the production of wines in accordance with the philosophy that he made his own after the aforementioned experiences:
'Sicily is a micro continent, with infinite morphological and climatic variables, therefore, albeit in some cases for limited production, it is possible to plant most of the known vine varieties'.
The most surprising production came in the mid-2000s, when Bruno decided to plant the aromatic Traminer at a plot of land of around 3 hectares at an altitude of more than 500 metres on Mount Erice, in the province of Trapani, thus in a pedo-climatic context familiar to this grape variety.
Here he planted the aromatic Traminer vines and the first vintage was 2009.
From those grapes, skilfully blended with a small percentage of Sauvignon Blanc, our 'Kikè' was born, a simple experiment in oenology that turned out to be a great commercial success, a wine that we called 'A Sicilian you don't expect ...'. Read more
