Discover the best wines made with Nero d'Avola as a single variety or as a blend of Scilla.
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.
Sicilian high-altitude sub-appellation (Agrigento province, Bivona in the Sicani range, vineyards at 700m), sandy-limestone soils. Grecanico Dorato reigns in white: lively, elegant, intense green apple, white flowers, peach, aromatic herbs and a racy mineral-fresh touch, taut acidity. Catarratto Lucido in fresh aromatic white. Fleshy Nero d'Avola and Perricone in fruity reds with soft spices.
