Helios is crafted from a historic family parcel in Contessa Entellina, vines over 30 years old. A persuasive Nero d’Avola and Syrah blend, with aromas of sweet spice, black cherry and earthy notes.

This flagship Nero d’Avola is surprising for its elegance, showing a mix of ripe dark fruits and black cherry. Helios represents the pinnacle of the family's passion and dedication to their organically cultivated vineyards.
