About Nero d’Avola
It features a deep ruby red color with violet reflections. The bouquet is intense with hints of currant, wild berries and spices.
Native to this island, Nero d’Avola was initially found around the town of Avola near Siracusa and now it is grown all over Sicily. We produce this Nero d’Avola in our vineyards in Acate, in the province of Ragusa: this is where rich, mature, and structured Nero d’Avola is obtained.
Harvest is usually made within the first week of September. We select only grapes that have reached perfect aromatic and polyphenolic maturation. After soft pressing, malolactic fermentation is obtained with select bacteria. This pure Nero d'Avola matures for six months in French oak barriques.
It features a deep ruby red color with violet reflections. The bouquet is intense with hints of currant, wild berries and spices. The flavor is soft and velvety at the palate, with distinct notes of red fruits.
In Italy, this is a popular pairing with pizza, baked pasta. It is also great with lamb, mildly spicy Oriental dishes and semi-aged cheeses.
