Arancio Nero d’Avola Sicilia exhibits stewed dark cherry, warm winter spices and elegant cedar notes. A nice wine for Monday through Thursday dinners.
¡Salud!

Nero d’Avola is not terribly well known in the U.S. but it should many people think this is an appellation rather than as a varietal. The glass closure is really a vast improvement to synth corks. It is a great value and has a very friendly posture to food. This is a deep, silken red that has bold and approachable acids. Think marinara and other tomato rich dishes. This wine gives wondrous aromas and culminates with tart cherry, cranberry, just picked raspberry, slight cinnamon and fresh fallen leaves. Can be enjoyed as a stand-alone wine.
