he first single varietal wine to be produced from Nero d’Avola grapes in the history of Sicilian wine, it was first made in 1984. The idea of this noble wine originated from the desire to produce a great Sicilian red wine that could stand alongside the highest quality wines in existence in the international wine-making industry. Duca Enrico is a wine of great charm; it is aged for 18 months in oak barrels, which lends it complexity, style and longevity, after which it is bottle aged for at least a year to complete the organoleptic qualities, enhancing the distinctive bouquet with aristocratic notes.
