Aldo Viola
In the north-west of Sicily, Aldo Viola single-handedly cultivates a total of 9 hectares of vineyards, which are spread over many small plots in various villages, some of which are quite far apart. The largest of these are located in Feudo Guarini, around 30 kilometres from the winery, where he planted Syrah and Nero d'Avola a few years ago in a previously largely fallow area at an altitude of 350 metres.
Aldo Viola, Moretto 2019
Wein
- €21,80
While Syrah plays a significant role also in the Moretto, it shares this status equally with Perricone and Nerello Mascalese. The latter has gained recognition beyond Sicily, thanks to the success stories of Etna wines. Perricone, however, remains relatively unknown, though that will soon change....

Aldo Viola, Saignée 2020
Wein
- €21,80

Aldo Viola, Egesta 2019
Wein
- €31,90
Egesta is one of the most outstanding white wines of Sicily. It is made from 100% Grillo, a variety that is closely associated with Sicily, yet it seems it didn’t originally come from the island. It was probably only planted after the phylloxera devastation in Sicily, but since then, it has taken...

Aldo Viola, Krimiso 2019
