SCIARE DI EST INSOLIA
100% INSOLIA
THE MOST ANCIENT VARIETY OF SICILIAN WINE CULTURE
The Sciare di Est Insolia comes from the Agrigento hills, 350 metres (1148 feet) above sea level. The grapes of this variety, one of the oldest and most representative of Sicilian wine culture, have been carefully tended since Roman times; this results in a brilliant, soft, welcoming wine to drink with seafood and fish. Do try this very characterful wine!
