Description
Nero d'Avola is the most important and widely planted red wine grape variety in Sicily. The dark-skinned grape is of great historical importance to Sicily and takes its present-day name from the town of Avola on the island's southeast coast. Translated, Nero d'Avola means "Black of Avola", a reference to the grape's distinctive dark coloring. It is often compared to Syrah because it likes similar growing conditions (Sicily has a hot Mediterranean climate) and exhibits many similar characteristics.
Food pairing
Perfect with Mediterranean style spiced food.
Vinification
Certainly the most famous Sicilian varietal, our Nero d’Avola is vinified following the traditional method: completely mature grapes are hand picked from vineyards, the fermentation and maceration with the skins take place at controlled temperatures of 23-25°C. A further ageing in the bottle enhance the richness of this flavourful wine.
