Coda della Foce

Coda della Foce is my personal tribute to the memory of my dear father Pietro, and to his great passion for wine: Sicilian by birth, a world citizen by choice of life.

It is a selection of Nero d’Avola grapes grown in Tenuta Belicello, hand picked and naturally fermented before undergoing a long refining in oak barrels. It is produced only in the best vintages that are able to develop longevity and a superior quality.
