AZIENDA AGRICOLA FEUDO SOLARIA /
SULLERIA ROSSO IGT

Sulleria is the name of a very small “Contrada” in the Messina Province with a very old tradition in wine making. It is made from a well-balanced blend of the following grapes: Nero D'Avola (the noble grape from Sicily ) and Sangiovese (a local and very particular clone of the Sangiovese grape).

The excellence of the sites, the classical vinification and aging in barriques for 1 year, all contribute to the outstanding qualities of this wine.
