What it tastes like

Juicy Nero d'Avola with ripe cherry, black berry and plum, touched by spice and earthy clay. The tannins are gentle, the texture smooth, and there's bright freshness and minerality from the soil.

The grape

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.

Sicily

The story behind it

Made from 100% Nero d'Avola grapes from the Buonivini district (vineyards Conca, Coniglio, Lenza Lunga, Parrino) on clay-limestone soils. Spontaneous fermentation, matured in steel,  to retain freshness, then aged in bottle before release. 

If you like these, you'll love this: If you enjoy expressive Sicilian reds, particularly clean, fruit-driven Nero d'Avola, or rustic but refined wines from southern Italy, this will hit the spot.
