Nero d'Avola Sicilia DOC - Barone Montalto

The Nero d'Avola Sicilia DOC by Barone Montalto is a shining example of one of the most iconic red wines of Sicily. This wine opens with an intense ruby red color, which heralds its aromatic and expressive richness. On the nose, fruity notes of black cherry, ripe plum, and blackberry are perceived, integrated with subtle hints of sweet spices, vanilla, and licorice, coming from the aging period in wood.

On the palate, the Nero d'Avola reveals a soft and velvety structure, accompanied by silky tannins that provide a pleasant roundness. Its well-balanced acidity gives freshness and liveliness, making it versatile and suitable for multiple culinary pairings. A long and persistent finish, with slight hints of cocoa and roasted coffee, completes the sensory experience.

Originating from the sun-drenched vineyards characterized by calcareous-clay soils of Sicily, this wine represents the quintessence of Sicilian terroir, best expressing the character and winemaking tradition of the island. Ideal to serve at a temperature of 16-18°C, the Nero d'Avola from Barone Montalto pairs perfectly with red meat dishes, game, aged cheeses, and pasta with rich sauces. An excellent choice for those looking to discover or rediscover the oenological riches of Sicily.
