Casa Catelli Nero d'Avola IGT Sicilia
Description: Winemaker's note: rich ruby red colour, intense and ethereal nose of dried flowers. On the palate it's soft and fruity with notes of cherries and spices that enhance the aromas. It has a long and elegant finish. Aging: 2 months in used French barrique and 3 months in the bottle About Nero D'Avola: Nero means black, while Avola is a small town in the southern east part of Sicily. Sicily was the most important Greek colony in the 5 century BC, and it's believed that Nero D'Avola was brought to Sicily by the Greeks. It grows in many different areas, although it may find the best conditions in the southern east part of Sicily, around the Ispica and Pachino towns . Here the sandy soil and the nice ventilation from the sea provides the best condition to make the most structured Nero D'Avola. This varietal has a lot to offer, good colour, explosive fruit flavours, good structure and a propensity to age well. On the other hand, it may develop high acidity, that's why the sandy soil is important to prevent that. In the last 10 years the quality of the wines has significantly improved, with better care on the vineyards and more resources in the wineries. The results are outstanding (6 x 75 cl)
