Wines made from Nero d'Avola grapes of Abruzzo
Discover the best wines made with Nero d'Avola as a single variety or as a blend of Abruzzo.
Full-bodied, warm reds with deep colour and generous alcohol, with aromas of blackberry, black cherry jam, plum, liquorice, chocolate and Mediterranean spice. Ripe tannins and a broad, sunny finish. The star of Sicily (Nero d'Avola Sicilia DOC, Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG blended with Frappato, Eloro DOC). Native Sicilian variety, also called Calabrese, the most planted on the island.
Accessible, identity-driven Italian duo. Montepulciano d'Abruzzo as red: deep colour, intense aromas of black cherry, ripe plum, sweet spices and balsamic notes, round tannins and a gourmet finish, from everyday to age-worthy Riserva. Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo DOCG as a fleshy, fruity rosé (strawberry, pomegranate). Trebbiano d'Abruzzo as a straight white with citrus and white flowers, sublimated by a few cult producers (Valentini).
