The Nero d'Avola is the most important red grape of Sicily and one of the most important indigenous varieties of Italy. Named after the town of Avola in the deep south of Sicily, the wines have been compared to the Syrah grape. Winegrowers brought this grape to the southern tip of the island a few hundred years ago. Today it is spread all over the island of Sicily. But it is mainly the districts around Noto (Buonivini, Bufalefi and Maccari) where the very best wines come from.
What does wine from the Nero d'Avola grape taste like?
Wines from this grape are known for their extremely pronounced fruity taste. These wines have a medium body with plenty of juice and freshness. Wood aging allows them to gain more depth in the flavor with more spicy notes of tobacco and coffee. The best Nero d'Avola wines have quite an intense taste, but always have something soft.
