Story: Elios was born from the passion of two young Sicilian friends, Guido Grillo and Nicola Adamo. Both were dissatisfied with their jobs, fed up with working for other people’s dreams. Guido and Nicola have a love for natural wines. Despite coming from different backgrounds, what they had in common was a love of nature and of Sicily and the desire to revitalize their families’ agricultural holdings, which up to that point had been under the thumb of the industrial groups to which we sold our grapes and olives for next to nothing. The 8-hectare vineyard is located in the rolling hills west of Palermo. Modus Bibendi was born from the strong conviction that wine should be made through natural vinifications and little to no intervention or use of chemicals. Three years ago they decided to plant Nerello mascalese in the Monreale area so as to understand what expression it might have compared to the grape when cultivated on Etna and also to show that it is possible to obtain good expressions of Nerello mascalese outside the Etna area. After initial experiments, they realised that the freshness and marked hint of red fruit flavours could make this grape the perfect ingredient to produce a glou glou wine.
Personality: It is cherry red and fruit-driven with notes of red berries, lightly spicy, an easy-going, clean, refreshing, simple wine.
Harmony: Just try not to drink the whole bottle! A perfect chilled companion for a hot tub with friends.
