Color: Ruby red with hints of purple. Bouquet: An explosion of fresh fruit on the nose (red currant, mulberry, raspberry, cherry and prune) balanced by a zesty spiciness. Taste: Vibrant fruit flavors from the Nero d'Avola are nicely balanced by ripe, soft tannins and a refreshing acidity. Food Pairing: Delicious partner for risotto with beans and meat, barbecued meats, lamb, and flavorful cheeses.
