©2012 Kobrand Corporation, New York, NY www.kobrandwineandspirits.com Nero d’Avol From where the land where the From & Grillo IGT meets the sea... a IGT Taste and elegance, this is an easy drinking harmonic wine. Great from start to finish, with fruity and juicy mouth feel.

Careful pruning of the vines, selection of the best grapes to exalt the particular characteristics of indigenous varietal from the best suited region for Nero D’avola.

In the Vineyard—Grapes are planted in southern exposure at 80 meters above sea level, just 2 kilometers from the sea. Average age of vines is 12-34 years. Exclusive use of bush/alberello system with 1.25 meter x 1.25 meter spacing of rows and 5,550 vines per hect- are resulting in 60 quintals production per hectare. In spring the vines are pruned down to one bud per plant. In June/July a green harvest is conducted to eliminate lesser growing grapes. 20 days prior to harvest the vines go through an additional cluster thinning or selection of the best grapes in a bunch.

In the Winery—Wine goes through 15 days of below 25 Celsius maceration and fermentation with regular punching. All aging is done in steel tanks.

Tasting Notes—Wine shows red ruby colors. Nose bursting with red fruit sensations. Flavor in harmony and with good structure. Finish entices for another sip. Great pairing with grilled meats … Think Barbeque …

Calcareous, rich in lime soils best suited for growing wines with great minerality and freshness. Wines that show acidity and are great compli- ments to most foods.

Close location to sea, hot temperatures driven by hot winds and Alberello / bush training systems are optimal for growing variety. Grillo has thrived in such combinations for millennia.

Tasting Notes—Wine shows color of straw yellow with gold shades. It intrigues the nose with intense flower sensations perfectly mixed with citrus and yellow peach aromas and a hint of almonds and sweet grass. Mouth feel is full, rich and deep with balance and freshness. Best match with seafood and delicate first courses, very nice with white meat and grilled fish. It will hold its own with spices ... Think Asian ...

90 Points—“Delicious white with apple, banana and mango character. Full body, with plenty of fruit and a fresh finish. Stylish. Grillo is an undervalued white grape from Sicily. Drink now.” -James Suckling on vintage 2010, November 30, 2011
