Nero d'Avola has long been the most important grape on the island of Sicily, thriving in the heat of the Mediterranean sunshine. The vineyards are made up of distinct soil and climate conditions and range from sea-level up to 700 metres elevation, with each terroir imparting subtle complexity into the wine.

Established in 1970, Colomba Bianca is the largest Sicilian grower cooperative and the biggest Italian producer of organic wine. Despite their size, they engage a philosophy of micro-viticulture and micro-winemaking to ensure the ultimate precision, quality and expression of terroir. With their sights firmly fixed on the future of Sicilian wine, Colomba Bianca is rapidly becoming one of the leading names in organic winemaking in Italy.

Food Match: Local Sicilian pairings include Pasta alla Norma (fried aubergine & tomato sauce), Pasta 'ncaciata (baked meat/vegetable pasta dish), Tonno agrodolce (Sweet and sour tuna), Maialino (suckling pig)
