Nero D’Avola is finding new homes outside of Italy, and this unexpected locale shows itself suitable, showing a light bodied, full flavored expression that delights with red and blue fruit, soft spice and mild pepper. The blossoming finish is fully integrated and lingers long. You can expect to see more of this grape in marine influenced climates worldwide thanks to this bottling. A Platinum Award winner at the 2017 San Diego Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
