Accolade Wines, the fifth largest wine producer in the world based out of Australia, created a Sicilian brand called Da Luca.  They started with a focus on southern Italian wines with three labels from Sicily: the indigenous red Nero d’Avola and two white varietal wines made with Fiano and Pinot Grigio.  They also made a red wine from Pugila with its famous grape Primitivo.  They then added a northern Italian wine by creating this Prosecco from Treviso in the Veneto region of Italy.
