I have a close connection with wine as my father used to be a vineyard expert. Grapes and wine were an intimate part of our life, and the only wine on our table was exclusively home made or at least of local origin. Nero D'Avola is a type of grape indigenous of my area, the eastern part of Sicily, later also grown in other parts of the island. The wine Nero D'Avola is named after the grapes it is made with. This grapes produce a wine with fruity flavors. Purity is maintained during the vinification process by exclusively using Nero D'Avola grapes, making this wine one of the great wines of Italy.
Qualities:
structure and character, vibrant ruby red with purplish reflections if young, and of a darker red color when aged.
Its aroma is complex, with hints of spices (liquorish, all cloves), cherries, berries, chocolate and tobacco are only a few of the characteristics of the wines produced with Nero DAvola grapes.
Perfect with red meats, spicy foods and red sauces. You can find the Nero D'Avola Cusumano brand at the local Price chopper here in KC for less then $15.00, also Trader Joe's carries Nero D' Avola of other brands for a price as low as $6.00 .
