The grapes
Nero d'Avola
Best known in Sicily
Sicily's leading red grape. Ripe black cherry, plum and spice, with soft tannins and good acidity to keep it lively. It comes in fresh, fruity styles for easy drinking as well as richer, oak-aged versions that will happily sit in the cellar.
Where it's from
Sicily
Italy
Italy's sleeping giant is wide awake. Nerello Mascalese from Etna's volcanic slopes produces wines of haunting elegance that have woken the wine world up. Nero d'Avola, Grillo and Catarratto add depth to a region that now makes some of Italy's most exciting bottles.
