Nasciri Azienda Agricola, Sognai Calabrese Nero

Nasciri Azienda Agricola is run by Domenico and Francesca in the Calabrian countryside, near Gerace. The two have 20 hectares total, with 7 under vine, where farming with organic agricultural methods was not only an internal decision, but a natural need dictated by the land they so love. With help in the cellar from oenologist Claudia Galterio, they do not filter, fine, or add any substances to the wine. The grape Calabrese is best known as Nero d'Avola. The name “Calabrese” would suggest to origins in Calabria, in reality it is a native grape of Sicily. Calabrese gives structured wines, intense, harmonious and warm, with hints of plum and cherry, sometimes spicy.
