Ruby red,shiny and flowing. Nose : floral sensations of violet and fresh berries, followed by light herbal notes. Mouth : tannic but not aggressive, well balanced by a clear and marked acidity and a fresh and persistent fruit.
The story of my family is bond with the story of Villagrande. If you like to read ancient books, you will see that my ancestors lived and worked on these lands from the start of the 17th century already. At the beginning of the 18th century the Bishop of Catania gave to the Nicolosi Asmundo Family the task to turn the harsh fields of Etna from an “horrific and untamed place to a delicious garden”. My family arrived here on a wooden cart, they took a look around them and rolled up their sleeves starting to work this harsh volcanic land. Then in 1727 something happened, like in the fairytales. The Emperor Charles VI of Augsburg, King of Naples, bestowed Don Carmelo Nicolosi with the title of Baron of Villagrande.
