Bold. Authentic. Soul of Sicily.
From the sun-drenched vineyards of southern Sicily comes Giovinco Nero d’Avola, a wine that captures the island’s generous spirit and wild beauty. Crafted organically and with deep respect for the land, it reflects Sicily’s oldest winemaking traditions — where volcanic soils, sea breezes, and Mediterranean sunlight combine to create wines of natural intensity and harmony.
The Giovinco family, devoted to sustainable viticulture, cultivates their vines without chemicals or compromise, letting nature guide each stage of the process. The result is an authentic Nero d’Avola — bold yet balanced, rich yet refined. It’s a red that doesn’t shout for attention, but earns it, sip after sip.
In the glass, this wine reveals a deep ruby hue with violet reflections. The bouquet is full of ripe black cherry, plum, and blackberry, mingled with notes of dried herbs, spice, and a touch of cocoa. On the palate, it’s smooth and full-bodied, with soft tannins and a lingering finish that evokes warm Sicilian evenings and the scent of the sea.
For wine lovers in Ireland, Giovinco Nero d’Avola offers a genuine taste of Sicily’s soul — a perfect companion for hearty food, laughter, and moments shared at the table.
Why we love it:This organic Nero d’Avola is a charismatic crowd-pleaser — deep, fragrant, and well-structured, with authentic Sicilian flavour and a commitment to sustainability. A dependable, delicious red for everyday and celebration alike.

Founded in the 1920s by Vito Giovinco and now managed by the third generation, Giovinco fully embraced organic farming in 2006. Their 25 ha Sgarretta estate (plus their Etna holdings) reflects dedication to terroir‑driven wines. The Nero d’Avola is a bold expression of this Sicilian legacy.
