Details
Trisole Nero d’Avola bursts out the gate with bright cherry, juicy blackberry, and spiced plum aromas, laced with black pepper. Think dried herbs and autumn leaves adding an earthy edge. It's lively on the palate, rocking some fresh acidity. Fruit-forward, this wine wraps up with a vibrant, juicy finish - your go-to for approachable, easy-drinking vibes.
Let us introduce you to Cantina Birgi - a laid-back legend from the sun-soaked coast of western Sicily, right near the dreamy Stagnone Lagoon. Kicking off in 1960 with just ten local farmers, it’s now a 1,000-strong crew growing grapes across nearly 3,000 hectares. They blend old-school bush vines with modern techniques, keeping it real while turning out seriously high-quality fruit year after year. Birgi’s all about showing off Sicily’s flavour-packed grapes - think Grillo, Nero d’Avola, Frappato, and Catarratto - in everything from crisp organics to silky reds and vibrant sparkling wines. They're hands-on in the vineyard and dead set on quality, and it’s paying off - six of their wines just scored wins at the 2024 Wine Hunter Awards, including a Gold for their Zibibbo. Long story short: Birgi is the real deal - rooted in tradition, buzzing with innovation, and bottling pure Sicilian soul.

Pairing guide
This Sicilian Nero d’Avola thrives alongside rich, savoury cuts - think beef shanks or, better yet, some melt-in-your-mouth oxtail magic. Bacon lovers, you’re in luck, as this wine pairs brilliantly with crispy, smoky pork vibes like slow-roasted ham, gammon, or even pork knuckle. Fire up the grill, because barbecued meats and charred veggies hit all the right notes here. Bonus points if you bring it to the party with parmesan arancini, smoky Chinese black bean sauce, tangy red cabbage, or smoky grilled eggplant. Total crowd-pleaser energy.

Wine region

Sicily, Italy
Sicily is a productive island located in the Mediterranean Sea, off the southern coast of Italy.
The island has a varied landscape, with low coastal plains to hills and even active volcanic mountains. The climate is Mediterranean, with hot, dry summers and mild winters. Disease pressure is low thanks to drying coastal breezes making the region ideal for organic farming practices. The soils are volcanic, sandy, and clay.
Sicily can be divided into three wine regions, including the volcanic Etna DOC on the eastern side of the island, known for its red wines made from the Nerello Mascalese grape. The Marsala DOC on the island's western side is known for its fortified wines. The remaining Southeast of the Island produces a range of wines, notably Frappato and Nero d’Avola.
