Nero d'Avola is present in Sicily with so many biotypes, versions, features and interpretations that it is really difficult to outline a single profile of it. We grow it at 200 metres above sea level on a soil with medium texture with a good presence of limestone and sand. The plant displays a good balance between vegetation and fruit, while the grapes are juicy with purple nuances. The wine we obtain is named Nene to pay homage to Leonardo Sciascia's tale "II mare colore del vino". Long-lasting and fresh, with distinctive fruity aromas of cherry and berries, it is so pleasant to sip that it may find a pairing with both meat and fish dishes, above all if it they enriched with Mediterranean spices.  

TASTING NOTES 
Color: ruby with purple nuances 
On the nose: aromas of red fruit and cherry prevail, while notes of dried fruit and spices enrich its fine bouquet. 
Taste: full and harmonious. Cherry and forest floor notes return on the palate. Its saltiness balances its roundness so as to make the sip long and pleasant.
