NERO D’AVOLA SICILIA D.O.C. 2023

Deep ruby red with very subtle orange highlights. The intense and distinctive bouquet reveals aromas of blackcurrant, wild strawberry and pomegranate. Delicate and smooth on the palate, with characteristic flavours of wild berries, blackcurrant and Morello cherry in liqueur. Medium-bodied and velvety.
