Halarà Sicilian Red | Halarà
Six friends came together to create this wine from a rare and mysterious Sicilian vine, the Parpato. Fermentation takes place partly from whole bunch grapes and partly from destemmed bunches, in steel vats. Spiced and peppery, this is unmistakeably a Mediterranean wine.
This wine is a hymn to friendship, its name in Greek means “to take it easy, go slow”, the motto defines the group’s friendship and approach to winemaking.
To be drunk "Halarà".

First of all, it is a project, a philosophy of life, an idea born in Greece during a holiday of 6 incredible winemakers who together decided to become the custodians of a teeny vineyard, planted with an almost extinct grape, that risked being lost forever.
Halarà is the dream of all artisan wine lovers: to see 6 superb winemakers work together and even more so to taste the expression of their friendship.

The alberello vines grow with a beautiful northern exposure, kissed by the sun and the Mediterranean wind.
