For his Sicilian Papavero pair, Scipione Guiliani finds Nero d’Avola for his fruity ‘Rosato’, and gorgeously ripe Pinot Grigio from high altitude coastal vineyards. Dino Taschetta offers his besselling Nerod’Avola and w/o Lucido, a mouthwatering, aromatic white wine with ripe peach, apricot and light citrus notes.
There’s a zesty Vermentino – all crisp citrus, juicy pear and sun-ripened charm and Mimmo Rosso is a silky smooth, fruity blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, with a splash of Syrah from winemaker Domenico De Gregorio (known as Mimmo to his friends).
A love letter to Sicily, Mimmo Rosso is a silky smooth, fruity blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, with a splash of Syrah for berry spice, the sort of red wine locals love to drink and that will transport you to the island’s sun-drenched hills.
Enjoy a rosato with sun-blessed Sicilian ripeness and wonderful freshness too. Mouthfilling, juicy and moreish, it fits in effortlessly – at parties, picnics, barbecues – with food or without. Great flavour and classic Papavero value.
A zesty Vermentino – all crisp citrus, juicy pear and sun-ripened charm – from a pioneering Sicilian cellar. Named for the winemaker’s grandfather, one of 68 who founded the co-op in 1958, it’s a vibrant sip of Sicilian sunshine.
Revel in the brilliant, green apple fruit and refreshing zip in this stand-apart Pinot Grigio. It’s from the Italian hotspot for this grape – the Veneto – and is so much more than simply fresh, with flavours that’ll have your taste buds tingling.
w/o Lucido is a mouthwatering, aromatic white wine with ripe peach, apricot and light citrus notes crafted by winemaker Dino Taschetta. It’s made ‘without compromise’, using organically grown native grapes and bottled in 100% recycled glass.
This rich, barrel-aged Nero d'Avola is a tribute to Dino Taschetta's grandfather and his vineyard. An earthquake struck in 1968 and the vines were abandoned until Dino nursed them back to life. Now the grapes make this rich, blackberry-spiced red.
