This is a no-fuss, approachable Nero d’Avola that rides solely on the fruit’s inherent qualities and never sees wood. The raspberry and strawberry notes are definitely on the ripe side but leave a young, fruity impression in the mouth. Imported by Vin Divino.

Pretty mineral notes recall chalk and dusty ash and provide depth and dimension to this fresh and fragrant white wine. There’s not much fruit, but the wine pulls its own thanks to those mineral nuances and its crisp acidity.
