Caravaglio 2022 'Nero du Munti' Corinto Nero, Salina Sicily

Salina is a tiny volcanic island in the Aoelian Islands archipelago off the northern coast of Sicily. The Caravaglio family has been growing grapes on these islands for over 500 years.  Corinto Nero is an ancient, almost extinct grape of Greek origin found only in the Aoelian Islands and Caravaglio’s Corinto Nero grapes come from ancient, pre-phylloxera vineyards planted inside Salina’s ancient volcanic caldera. This is a juicy and fresh medium bodied wine with dark red plum fruit, hints of spice and pronounced wild herbs.  A great wine with sausages, pastas and meaty fish.
