Postcards from Italy Organic Nero D'Avola
Deep ruby in colour with bright aromas of red berries and plum. Juicy flavours of cherry, spice and crushed herbs develop into a jammy rhubarb aftertaste.
PICCINI MILLERIGHE NERO DAVOLA
Nero Davola is one of Italy’s most important indigenous red varieties. Named after its historic birthplace around the town of Avola in southeastern Sicily, it is most widely planted in Sicily and accounts for the largest share of red wines produced on the island. Today Nero Davola is the primary grape used in the majority of Sicily’s best red wines. Colour - Deep red colour. Bouquet - Multiple aromas on the nose, especially notes of black cherry, spice and liquorice. Flavour - A lively personality with soft, long lasting tannins. Food Pairing - The high acidity that characterizes Nero. Davola means it will work well with any of your favourite tomato based recipes. For the lighter styles think grilled fish and light meats in Mediterranean style dishes.
Nero Oro Nero d'Avola Appassimento
Produced from Nero d'Avola and dried Nero d'Avola grapes grown on the best sites in western Sicily. The grapes are dried in two historical ways, depending on their origin. Some grapes are left to hang and dehydrate on the vine while others are hand harvested and left to dry on racks for 15 days. The wine is vinified in a very gentle way allowing the wine to display both intensity of flavour and early approachability. The lavish fruit flavours of damson, black cherries and black currants match very well with rich meat based sauces.

The tannins are soft yet apparent and certainly in support to deliver both very food friendly wine and an easy one to like on its own.
