2020 Alessandro Viola Nero D'Avola Rosé
The 2020 Alessandro Viola Nero D'Avola Rosé is juicy bright, easy drinking with red cherries, strawberries, hints of citrus and light minerality.
The grapes used are from younger vines grown in clay and sandy soils at around 250 meters elevation. With minimal ageing in steel tank for 6 months.
Alessandro Viola's father was a vine grower, although other than a few bottles of homemade wine he never strove to produce his own wines commercially. From an early age Alessandro was fascinated with grape growing, and after a few vintages of self-learning and discovery he decided to truely progress his craft he'd need to study oenology. During his studies he steered away from the more mechanical side of winemaking that was being taught, studying the science instead. His idea was that nothing needed to be added or taken away from the wine, if the grapes, soil and winemaking were all working together. This belief has guided him ever since.

FAQ
What is natural wine?
The philosophy of natural wine is one of minimal-intervention, from vineyard to cellar. Natural wines are made using quality grapes, generally grown using organic and biodynamic practices, however vineyards may not always be certified as such due to the restrictive nature of these certification systems. Natural wines in most cases won't be filtered or fined, processes which generally involve the use of animal products.
Are your wines vegan friendly?
In almost all cases yes! Generally if you see "unfiltered and unfined" this will be an assurance that no animal products have been used in the process. The fining process is where conventional winemakers will often use egg and fish products (yep pretty gross) to remove sediment from wines. The sediment is natural, healthy and adds flavour so natural wine makers almost always leave some of it in.
Are your wines chemical free?
Yes, we only stock wines that use grapes grown using biodynamic or organic farming methods and will have none of the over 200 additives that can be found in conventional wines, *with the occasional exception of a tiny amount of sulphur. Some organic winemakers choose to add a small amount of sulphur (SO2) to ensure their wines travel better and last longer.
