The grape Nero d’Avola (also known as Calabrese) is named after the city of Avola in the far south of Sicily, and its wines are compared to New World Shirazes, with sweet tannins and plum or peppery flavours.

The Nesos Nero d’Avola from Alcesti is rich and expressive, packed with ripe dark fruit flavours and a hint of spice. Its bold structure and smooth, velvety tannins make it a great match for hearty dishes like lamb stew, grilled meats, or smoky barbecue.
