A bold taste of sun-soaked Sicily

Il Barroccio comes from the hilly provinces of Trapani and Agrigento in southwestern Sicily, where Nero d’Avola thrives in the island’s warm Mediterranean climate. Cooling winds move through the sloping vineyards, tempering the heat and bringing freshness and balance to the region’s naturally generous fruit.

Ripe dark cherry and juicy plum fill the palate, layered with warm spice and a distinctly Sicilian richness. Deeply coloured and full of flavour, it combines firm grip with velvety tannins and an opulent, satisfying finish. The name refers to the traditional Sicilian wine cart, connecting this vibrant modern red with the island’s winemaking history.

Why we love it

Rich, velvety and full of Sicilian warmth, with generous dark fruit and just enough grip to keep you coming back.

About the Wine

This rich, opulent red brims with the bold flavours of ripe dark cherries and juicy plums, layered with warm spices that give it a distinctly Sicilian warmth. Crafted from Nero d’Avola - Sicily’s signature grape, perfectly suited to the island’s hot climate - this wine showcases a deep, intense colour and grippy yet velvety tannins. A true reflection of its sun-soaked origin, it’s a wine that captures both the richness and resilience of Sicily itself.

Il Barroccio Nero d’Avola hails from the sun-soaked vineyards around the hilly provinces of Trapani and Agrigento in Sicily's southwestern region. Here, Nero d’Avola grapes thrive on sloping vineyards, where winds weave through the vines, tempering the high temperatures and lending elegance and balance to the wines.

In these remote, rural corners of Italy, the ‘barroccio’ - the traditional wine cart - remains a common feature, linking today’s winemaking to its rich past. Il Barroccio embodies the warmth and vibrancy of Sicily, offering a taste as bold as the history behind it.
