Alessandro Viola is small wine producer in North West Sicily south of Pollermo. He is committed to the local varieties: Catarratto, Grillo, Nero d'Avola and Nerello Mascalese. His style is unique and his commitment to organic and biodynamic practices with no additions is central to his winemaking philosophy.
"The perfect Sicilian blend", as Alessandro says
