Saia

Saia, the  name of  the irrigation canals built centuries ago by the Arabs to collect rainwater, is  made with  100 percent Nero d’Avola, an extraordinary grape able to produce intense,  full bodied wine.  The “alberello” cultivation and the aging in French oak make it a wine that stands alone in its category.
