January Wine of the Month
The producer:
Maggio Vini
The family estate Maggio Vino lies at the heart of Cerasuolo di Vittoria, the only Sicilian region to receive DOCG status in 2005. The Greeks already recognised its potential and planted Sicily’s first vines here. Nero d’Avola and Frappato are the region’s characteristic red varieties, but white Grillo thrives here too. Wine has long been part of the Maggio family’s life. They embraced the modernisation of Sicilian winemaking and made the move to sustainable organic growing at the same time. In the vineyard they focus on native varieties and natural cultivation that preserves the character of the terroir. In the cellar they use advanced technology. The enterprising Maggio family also has a taste for research, experimentation and innovation. Their skilfully made wines show how well these approaches work together.
