Canapi is back!  After a couple of years in the shadows this juicy easy drinking red is back by popular demand.

"It is sweetly fragrant on the nose showing dark plum, blueberry, thyme and clove characters, leading to a beautifully fruited palate that is rounded and juicy. The wine offers attractive fruit intensity and smooth texture, finishing long and succulent. A lovely comforting red. At its best: now to 2018." Sam Kim Wine Orbit Sept 2016.

We're in love with the great value wines of Sicily. And nothing we've found so far is a better advertisement for them than the 'Canapi' wines. One of our biggest-selling wines, Canapi Nero d'Avola is fantastic example of the ripe, plummy, super easy-drinking reds that are coming out of Sicily these days.

Nero d'Avola is the main red variety on the island of Sicily, and in our opinion it is their best foot forward. 'Canapi' is the Sicilian name (in Sicilian dialect) of the special sailor’s knot depicted on the label. Sicily has as rich a seafaring history as it does a winemaking history. And the ‘Canapi knot’ on the label symbolizes the union of these two traditionally important Sicilian industries.
