Ala Nera Nero D'Avola

Nero d€™Avola is the star red grape of Sicily, with spicy notes that sometimes remind tasters of Syrah. Sicily is intensely sunny and quite hot, and sometimes the island€™s wines can become jammy. We love the Ala Nera, though, because it balances the typical Nero d€™Avola richness with refreshing fruit that is not overdone. The Ala Nera has a beautiful nose full of wild berries and baking spice. The aromas of clove and pepper carry over to the palate, which is bursting with fresh cherries and raspberries. It is a great choice for pizza, and would be especially great with a pizza topped with sausage and caramelized onions!
