Sergio Drago, a new winemaker trained by the legendary Alessandro Viola, is from Alcamo, Sicily. Alcamo, situated between Marsala and Palermo, is the quintessential growing area for the Sicilian indigenous grape Catarratto. Sergio produces wines completely organically, while not certified, his ethos is clear. No intervention in the vineyard or the cellar - all spontaneous fermentation. Sergio produces two wines: a Bianco (Catarratto) and a Rosso (blend of Nero D’ Avola and Syrah). Vines sit on extremely calcareous soil. Sergio’s production is small and he wants to keep it that way, limiting production to 4,000 bottles total.
Description: A medium-bodied blend of Nero d’Avola and Syrah fermented and aged in stainless steel for 5 months. This is a beautiful combination of the soft and persuasive tannin of Syrah paired with the freshness of Nero d’Avola. Aromatics of bright, ripe red fruits with a touch of earthiness and a bit of saline from the sea. On the palate it is fresh and juicy with silky smooth tannins that complement the freshness of the acidity brought by the ripe berry flavors. Finishes with just a touch minerality.
