With wine making in his family blood, Vito Lauria decided to attend the University of Udine in Friuli where he obtained a degree in Enology in 2003. After stepping off the campus he worked at a number wineries in northern Italy for a few years before returning to Sicily in 2005. Vito came home to open the old family winery in Alcamo, 30 miles west of Palermo.
The progenitor of the Lauria wine family. Zio Paolo is the first wine that Vito has chosen to make and it takes its curious name from the vineyard – of wide and flat land around Alcamo is at its origin A (100%) Nero d’Avola that, unlike the Alacre, also of the same grape, is less complex and more fresh on the palate. Very fruity on the nose, bears notes of strawberry and wild berries.
