Nero D'Avola Sicilia DOC - Mezzogiorno

The Nero D'Avola Sicilia from the house of Mezzogiorno in Sicily presents a bright, purple-red color in the wine glass. The bouquet of this red wine from Sicily impresses with nuances of plum jam, plum, and blackcurrant. Its distinctly fruit-forward character is precisely what makes this wine so special.

On the palate, Mezzogiorno’s Nero D'Avola Sicilia starts off pleasantly aromatic, fruit-driven, and well balanced. There is dry and there is really dry. This red wine belongs to the second group, as it was vinified with just 0.9 g of residual sugar. This dense red wine presents itself on the palate as harmonious and multi-layered. Thanks to its balanced acidity, Nero D'Avola Sicilia caresses the palate with a pleasing mouthfeel, without lacking freshness. On the finish, this youthful red wine from the Sicilian wine-growing region delights with a beautiful length. Once again, hints of blackcurrant and plum jam appear.

Vinification of Nero D'Avola Sicilia by Mezzogiorno

After being harvested by hand, the grapes are brought to the winery without delay. There they are sorted and gently crushed.
