Wines made from Nero d'Avola grapes of Faro
Discover the best wines made with Nero d'Avola as a single variety or as a blend of Faro.
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.
Ancestral DOC of Sicily (Messina, 1976, already Mycenaean in the 14th century BC), clay-sandy soils overlooking the strait. Nerello Mascalese (45–60%), Nerello Cappuccio (15–30%) and Nocera (5–10%) as signature native varieties — elegant and fine red with vivid notes of cherry, raspberry, Mediterranean herbs and a refined mineral-saline-volcanic touch, fine tannins, evolving brick with age. Sublimated by Palari, Sicilian gem.
