We're in love with the great value wines of Sicily. And nothing we've found so far is a better advertisement for them than the 'Canapi' wines. One of our biggest-selling wines, Canapi Nero d'Avola is fantastic example of the ripe, plummy, super easy-drinking reds that are coming out of Sicily these days.  The Gold Medal winning 2018 Canapi is full of ripe red berry aromas and flavours supported by soft tannins.

Food Pairing: This wine is perfect for drinking with pasta dishes but also on its own.
