2022 Soliloquio Nero d'Avola DOC

This 2022 Soliloquio Nero d’Avola DOC from Sicily delights the palate with warm fragrances of blackberry, cherry, and blueberries along with subtle notes of spice. Each sip presents a harmonious balance of bold power with delicate softness, complemented by silky tannins and slight hints of licorice and chocolate. This full-bodied wine derives from Nero d’Avola grapes grown with the greatest of care in Sicily. This dark-skinned grape takes its name from the town of Avola on the island’s southeast quarter. With an arid, rocky climate, these grapes were grown in radiant sunshine in an Alberello-pruned vineyard for extra resistance to the high winds characteristic of the region. With bold fruit flavors and punchy acidity, this Nero d’Avola makes a great match for rich, meaty meats like juicy BBQ burgers or a decadent beef stew.
