Winemaker Notes
Nero d'Avola, Considered among the highest quality of Italy's native wine, grapes, is a staple of the best Sicilian wines. It carries an elegance and power that few others can match. The stunning example, coming from the incredible Van Eden Vineyard located in the high altitude De Luz region. This area, markedly cooler than many other local sites, endows the vines with the ability to hold onto their fruit longer, developing more complex flavors and aromas than those forced to ripen over a shorter period of time. The greatness of the region and this vineyard are immediately evident in this special wine.
Food Pairing Notes
A delight with ragu filled Arancini.
