About this WINE
Cantina Ottoventi
To describe the character of a land as generous as that of western Sicily, of Erice, of its wines, of what these wines are able to express, is a superb challenge even for one who has live the experience of these characteristic vineyards for generations.
The choice to liken them to wind, in one instance as delicate as a breeze, in another impetuous and rough like the dominant winds, is to pay homage to the faithful presence of these winds from the eight directions of the horizon that constitute of the spirit of this land, hence the name Ottoventi: Eightwinds.

Description
Ottoventi translates as “eight winds” representing the buffeting these vineyards near receive, perched near Erice at the northwest tip of Sicily. The Nero d’Avola grape, specific to the island, produces rich wines with notes of plum and bitter chocolate. Nine months’ gestation in French oak completes the picture. Surely an offer you can’t refuse.
