Nero d’Avola

The most important red wine grape in Sicily, and one of Italy’s most important indigenous varietals. Nero d’Avola is often treated like Syrah making mostly big red wines with aging potential. It can also be made into a lighter style for drinking young.

V1 Estates are produced with high quality grapes from various countries and regions determined each harvest.

This Nero d’Avola is from the Ispica region of Sicily which is located on the eastern end of the province of Ragusa.
