 -Nero d'Avola-

Villa Cardea Nero d'Avola is the coming together of climate, soil, the local Sicilian grape, Nero d'Avola, and the inspiration of the Master Distiller. This combination brings out the full expression of flavour and silky texture, from blueberry to spicy notes of nutmeg, with hints of vanilla and liquorice.

Our Nero d'Avola grape originates from the southern tip of Sicily where this black grape was selected by growers near the village of Avola centuries ago, and its wines are comparable to New World Shirazes, with sweet tannins, plum and peppery flavours.
