Character & context
Understanding Nero d'Avola
Nero d'Avola can be fragrant and medium-bodied or deeper and more powerful, depending on site and handling. It appears alone and in blends, including combinations with Frappato. Sicily's varied terrain makes a single heavy, jammy stereotype unhelpful. Look for freshness and regional detail beneath the dark fruit.
