The Nero d'Avola is a beautiful red wine from the famous House of Tasca d'Almerita in Palermo. This is a young wine from low yielding vines which guarantee a high quality and concentrated wine partly aged in wood and partly in steel tanks. This wine is fresh with the fruity notes of a young wine, having elegant spicy and liquorish aromas, which are usually indicators of good ageing potential.
