Puntalevante Collezione Oro Nero d'Avola Sicilia

Puntalevante is a specialized wine brand specifically crafted for international retail markets, notably featuring its Nero d'Avola Sicilia line as part of a 'Collezione Oro' (Gold Collection). This wine is deeply rooted in the Sicilian viticulture tradition, utilizing the island's most famous indigenous grape variety, Nero d'Avola, which is grown and bottled within the Sicilia DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) region.

The brand is a private label or exclusive line produced by the Schenk Family Estates group, which manages the production through its extensive network of Italian wineries. The manufacturing takes place in Italy, where the grapes are harvested from Sicilian vineyards and processed according to strict DOC regulations to ensure quality and regional authenticity.

Ownership of the brand lies with Schenk Family Estates, one of the largest family-owned wine groups in Europe. Originally founded in Switzerland in 1893 by Arnold Schenk, the company has expanded its operations across the continent, with its Italian branch, Schenk Italia, overseeing the sourcing and bottling of labels like Puntalevante for various global distributors and supermarkets.
