Organic Extra Brut Sparkling Wine – Frappato and Nero d’Avola | Boniviri

An elegant Sicilian organic sparkling wine full of personality. In the glass, it appears bright, with straw yellow reflections and a fine and persistent perlage, which anticipates a fresh and fragrant aromatic profile.

On the nose, notes of white peach, yellow fruit, and pink grapefruit emerge, accompanied by floral hints and touches of bread crust. On the palate, it is crisp, harmonious, and enveloping, with a lively acidic drive that leads to a long and clean finish.

It is born in Sicily, from a cuvée of organically grown Frappato and Nero d’Avola grapes, thanks to the careful winemaking of Angela and Giovanni Gurrieri, a family business committed to quality and sustainable agriculture.

Serve it at 6–8°C to enhance aperitifs, raw seafood, and refined fish dishes.

Nocellara dell'Etna

Grown almost exclusively on the slopes of Mount Etna, the Nocellara is an olive with firm and crunchy flesh and an almond aftertaste.

A refined and fragrant extra virgin oil is extracted, medium fruity, with a pleasant balance between bitterness and spiciness.

The box includes:

• 1 bottle 500ml Organic EVO Oil 100% Nocellara dell'Etna

Tonda Iblea

Native variety of the Iblei Mountains and southeastern Sicily, the Tonda Iblea has soft and juicy flesh, with a full and fragrant taste of ripe tomato.

Francesco’s 100% Tonda Iblea oil was selected by Gambero Rosso among the best Sicilian extra virgin olive oils.

The "Audace" blend balances the softness of Tonda Iblea (20%) with the character of Nocellara Etnea (80%), for a more intense flavor.

The box contains:

• 1 bottle 500ml Organic EVO Oil 100% Tonda Iblea
• 1 bottle 500ml Organic EVO Oil 80% Nocellara 20% Audace

Twin Wine – Sicilian Grapevines is a box designed to offer an experience of conscious and in-depth tasting.

The idea behind it is simple: start from the native grape variety to get to know Sicily, and through the bottles discover the work of the wineries and the different interpretations of the territory.

Each selection offers two wines made from the same grape variety, but vinified differently or by different producers. The direct comparison allows you to understand how climate, soil, and winemaking choices can lead to results that are very different from each other, even starting from the same grape.

Choose the box you prefer:

Nocera

Nocera is a grape variety widespread in the Milazzo area and in the sandy and volcanic soils of the Messina region. The bottles offered come from the Vigna Nica winery, in Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto, overlooking the Aeolian Islands.

The natural freshness of Nocera allows this red grape variety to be vinified in original interpretations. To discover the versatility of Nocera, we recommend:

• to taste it pure, the extra brut sparkling wine produced with the ancestral method.
• the biodynamic rosé from Vigna Nica, where Nocera and Nero d'Avola balance each other.

Frappato

A native red grape variety grown in the Ragusa area, Frappato is known for its lightness, fragrant aromas, and smooth drinkability. To get to know it, we recommend two organic labels from the Gurrieri winery in Chiaramonte Gulfi:

• the Frappato pure
• the Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG (40% Frappato, 60% Nero d’Avola), the only Sicilian DOCG denomination

The comparison highlights the difference between the immediacy of the single-varietal and the complexity of the blend.

Grillo

Grillo is one of the most representative native white grape varieties of Sicily, born from the natural crossing between Catarratto and Zibibbo. To taste it, we offer:

• the Grillo pure from the Gurrieri winery
• the Mamertino bianco from the Vigna Nica winery, where Grillo is paired with Inzolia

Two interpretations that highlight, on one hand, the freshness and linearity of the grape variety and, on the other, greater complexity and elegance.

Nero d’Avola

The emblematic grape variety of Sicily and the protagonist of the island’s winemaking revival starting from the 1980s. We suggest tasting it pure and in a lesser-known and very special blend:

• the Nero d'Avola from the Baglio Diar winery
• the Mamertino D.O.C. from the Vigna Nica winery, an ancient blend already appreciated by the ancient Romans, where Nero d’Avola joins Nocera and Nerello Mascalese

If you want to gift the box, you can add the two-bottle packaging to best present an original and refined gift.
