A very characterful red-skinned grape, the island’s main variety and the flagship of Sicilian winemaking, Nero d’Avola finds in Nirà the canvas on which to paint its exciting representation of a sensory dream (“nirà” in Sicilian), proffering a head-spinning whirl of fruit and spice fragrances followed by juicy, exotic flavours.

Sensory profile and impressions

Remarkably brilliant ruby red; fragrant ripe red fruit accompanies enticing pepper and coffee spice on the nose; soft-textured and mouthfilling, with progression sustained by juicy savouriness and crunchy tannins that lend energy and vibrancy to the rousing finale.

Food matchings

Elaborate sea and land food served with very flavoursome spice or aromatic herb-based sauces are further enhanced by Nirà, which is equally suitable as an accompaniment for moderately mature cheeses.
