Caruso e Minini, ‘Naturalmente Bio’ Nero d’Avola 2020

Region: Sicily, Italy Varietal: 100% Nero d’Avola Tasting notes: Fruity and vibrant, this Nero d’Avola has soft, medium tannins and a harmonic finish, showing boysenberry, vanilla, and blackberry notes. Grown in the five organic hectares championed by Giovanna Caruso. Producer: Located on Sicily’s western-most coast near the town of Marsala, Caruso & Minini boasts a history that harks back to the late 1800’s when Antonio Caruso bought the company to grow grapes for the nearby Marsala factories. The company was passed through subsequent generations until Nino Caruso finally decided to begin making and bottling his own wine in the mid 1900’s. In 2004, Stefano Caruso joined forces with Mario Minini of Lombardy to launch the present-day winery, producing wines from indigenous Sicilian varietals such as Catarratto, Nero d’Avola, Frappato, Inzolia, and Nerello Mascalese. Today, Stefano’s daughter Giovanna works closely with her father to head up this historic winery. Vineyard and W
