The Wine
Save the vines and enjoy a gorgeous rich red! Poggioreale used to be an important wine village in Sicily. It was where Dino Taschetta grew up, like generations of his family before him. After an earthquake reduced Poggioreale to ruins in 1968, a new town was built further down the hill – it was cheaper – and the vineyards above the village, the highest and oldest in Sicily, were then neglected for decades. Now, with many of the island’s oldest Nero d’Avola vines grubbed up, there’s even more reason to treasure what’s left. Dino has recently returned to the family estate and with hard work is restoring the vineyard. He was in urgent need of a customer to buy his first vintage. Our Buyer Davy tasted the wine and reserved the entire vintage!
"Help ensure the perpetuity of this magnificent old vineyard and help yourself to a fabulous rich red"
