Massimo Padova, Riofavara

 

Recently voted Sicilian Winemaker of the Year 2012 by Cronache di Gusto, Massimo Padova, together with his wife Margherita, creates silky, sensuous Nero d'Avola (the estate lies within that grape's heartland, Val di Noto), a stunning Insolia, Grecchetto, Chardonnay blend, Marzaiolo, and a sensational Moscato di Noto, Notissimo, which will have you weeping for joy! Everything is hand-picked, and the red wine are unfiltered. Marzaiolo is aged in stainless steel and bottle for 6 months; San Basilio in French oak bottle for four months; Eloro in barriques for six months; and Sciavè in barriques for 18 months.
