Character, style, and territory
Nero d’Avola is a grape variety deeply linked to Sicily and expresses itself in this collection through denominations and areas that highlight its different nuances, from Sicilia DOC and Sicilia DOC Rosso to interpretations related to Noto, Vittoria, Contea di Sclafani, and Terre Siciliane IGT. The aromatic profile tends to unite ripe fruit, notes of spices, and a broad taste structure, with a balance that can vary from immediate drinkability to the complexity of reserve or selection wines.
The presence of labels such as Siccagno, Saia, Santa Cecilia, Duca Enrico, Rosso del Conte, Mille e Una Notte, and Tancredi shows how Nero d’Avola can be an interpreter of great level, even in blends or in versions destined for aging.
