Varietal
Nero D’avola
One of the key flagship grape varietals of the beautiful island of Sicily is Nero d’Avola, a black skinned grape which is recognized as being one of Italy’s most important and long lasting indigenous grapes. Often, wines made from the Nero d’Avola varietal are compared with Australian Shiraz wines, as they share the same spicy, peppery and fruit-forward notes, and are easily drinkable with a sunny, juicy character which makes them ideal for pairing with a wide range of foods. The Nero d’Avola has been grown in the Sicilian region of Avola for centuries, but has more recently been cultivated in California and elsewhere in the New World, where it thrives in arid landscapes and hot climates. As such, the ancient influence of this grape varietal is beginning to find fans all over the globe, and is likely to spread to even more countries in the near future.
