Expressive of violet, bright cherry, red currant and pomegranate. Delicate spice, hints of bramble and green peppercorn pique interest, while silky tannins surround crunchy acidity, yielding to a soft yet poised finish. Nero d'Avola works well with darker meats, like lamb, duck, and beef. It's a wonderful partner for roasted or grilled meat dishes.
