NERO d'AVOLA

Rich and concentrated aromas of dark red fruit present with notes of plum and blackberry, followed by layers of cocoa powder and white pepper. This high acid/fine tannin Nero d’ Avola is a treat for the palate, simultaneously offering an earthy nuttiness and pomegranate-like tartness. Pair with hearty fall and winter foods like pot roast with garlic mashed potatoes, a mushroom burger with blue cheese, or a savory lentil soup.
