Description
A' Puddara is a wine dedicated to Sicily. Like the Seven Sisters in the sky it is a small continent with a beating heart in the middle of the Medittanean sea. A' Puddara, like in the Ovidio poem, means hen, mothering woman for fisherman and peasant; a sign to show the way, to direct their lives. If you imagine a fisherman coming home, you will see him looking up at the volkano, where he finds the seven sisters exactly where the carricante Vineyard is. It is a rigorous and outlined wine, like the Mount Etna rising up in the night.
