Buy or order Nero d'Avola wine

You'll quickly fall in love with this red grape from Italy, namely the Nero d'Avola. It has its roots on the beautiful island of Sicily, where it's called "the black of Avola." This is due to the beautiful dark color of the red wines produced from the Nero d'Avola grape. Rosé wines are also often made from this grape because they are wonderfully refreshing and offer beautiful, deep flavors. Only since the beginning of this century have these wines been taken seriously on the international wine market. Thanks in part to the older vineyard and improved cultivation, top-quality wines are now being made from Nero d'Avola, such as the Cusumano Noa, Donnafugata Tancredi, and Paritala Alto Nero d'Avola. These wines are highly regarded by, among others, Robert Parker.
