This wine, the fruit of one of the oldest native Sicilian grape varieties, is born from the harsh clay of the inland highlands.
It is dedicated to the memory of Peppino Impastato, a young Sicilian murdered by the Mafia, whose ideas continue to inspire those who love freedom.

Centopassi Argille di Tagghia Via Nero d’Avola 2023
‘Argille di Tagghia Via’ 100% Nero d’Avola, and takes its name from the church of the Madonna di Tagliavia, a few hundred yards away. The vineyard is planted between Corleone and San Giuseppe Jato. Soil is impermeable alkaline clay with some sand, poor in organic matter and limestone.
Fairly dark violet-tinged red in the glass. A berryish, spicy aroma (hint of black pepper); lead pencil; somewhat reminiscent of Syrah. Very concentrated palate and fresh acidity. Finish honestly tastes like blackberry, with a faint hint of coconut, a common Nero d’Avola note.
A much better, fresher wine than most Nero d’Avola but still forward and drinkable.
Try it with red meats, flavorful pasta dishes.
