Quick Overview

Nero d'Avola is the most important red wine grape in Sicily, and is one of Italy's most important indigenous varieties. It is named after Avola in the far south of Sicily and its wines are compared to New World Shirazes, with sweet tannins and plum or peppery flavours.
The Black Grape of Avola" appears to have been selected by growers near Avola (a small town in South east of Sicily) several hundred years ago. Initially it was confined to the southern tip of the Island, but more recently has spread throughout the island, although its best samples are still produced in this part of Sicily, because of excellent climate and soils.

Sicily

According to legend, Dionysus (aka Bacchus) was the God who brought pleasure to mankind, and wine to Sicily. For most of the 20th century, Sicily continued to produce enormous quantities of grapes, most of which, however, were exported to be added to wine made elsewhere in Italy. The last 20 years have seen enormous changes to the island's wine culture and, as the many international prizes won by Sicilian producers confirm, some of Italy’s finest wines are now being made in Sicily. A new generation of Sicilian producers are realising the full potential of the island’s enviable climate, its autochthonous grape varieties and its fertile soil. Sicily is a wine-lover's paradise, such is the variety, complexity and abundance of Bacchus' unique gift!
