Nero d'Avola
From the hillside vineyards of sunny Sicily, where the Nero d’Avola grape has its home.
Italy, Sicily, Palazzi, Terre Siciliane IGT, Nero d’Avola, 2013
Introduction
Produced by Adria Vini, a cooperation venture setup in 2003 between Boutinot and Araldici Vini Piemontesi. They work closely with local growers and cooperatives, to make wines that represent the region(s) to its best, as well as being value for money.
Sicily was at one time among the most productive wine regions in Italy. These days other Italian regions have taken that position and the Sicilians are focused more on quality and its own heritage, producing good wines, including whites and Marsala. The island’s production is still quite traditional; continue to work on its origins, not influenced much by ‘the consultants’ of the wine world, with many growers combined in cooperatives.
