Nero d'Avola

Sicilia DOC
Production area Sambuca di Sicilia is where rich, mature, and structured Nero d’Avola is cultivated. The grape thrives in clay-rich soils but is sensitive to excessive dryness and overexposure to sunlight.
Grapes Nero d'Avola
Flavour Profile Deep ruby-red with violet highlights, Nero d’Avola offers an intense bouquet of currant, wild strawberries, and pomegranate. On the palate, it is soft and velvety, with pronounced fruity notes.

Pairings
It pairs beautifully with risotto, red meats, lamb, and savory cheeses. Nero d'Avola is also renowned for its perfect match with Sicilian classics, like the iconic spaghetti alla Norma.
Alcohol content 13%
Serving temperature 60-64°F

Vinification

This is an early to mid-ripening varietal, typically reaching maturity around the first week of September.
The wine is made from grapes that have achieved optimal aromatic and polyphenolic ripeness. After destemming, alcoholic fermentation takes place with skin contact for a few days. Malolactic fermentation follows, using selected bacteria, and the wine then undergoes extended aging in French barriques.
