"Nero D’Avola is Sicily’s most chic and important red varietal. Also known as Calabrese, it may have been brought to Sicily from Calabria centuries ago. It possesses a deep, rich ruby hue; works well with oak and has the potential for aging. Often it is blended with international varietals, such as Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah."

"A brilliant ruby red with fragrances of forest berries and plums, a dry, spicy, warm taste and a persistent finish. Will pair well with roasted and grilled meats, pasta dishes, spicy cuisine, cheeses."

THE WINERY:

Monte Schiavo and La Vite are properties and cantinas owned by the Pieralisi family, the most prominent producer of olive oil equipment in the world. Although the winery is renowned for red wines, such as Rosso Conero and Rosso Piceno, they are best known for Verdicchio. They are the second largest land owner in the Classico sub-zone of Castelli di Jesi. No one produces a finer range of Verdicchio wines: including sparkling Verdicchio Brut “Vigne Tassinare”; two crus, “Colle del Sole” and “Coste del Molino”; late harvest Pallio di San Floriano; and barrique aged Bando di San Settimio.

Recently Monte Shiavo has begun to manage wineries outside of Marche, under the watchful eye of their enologist, Pierluigi Lorenzeiti. They include Villa Bizzarri, in Abruzzo, Falanto in Puglia and Diecigrani in Sicily.

THE VINE:

Nero D’Avola is Sicily’s most chic and important red varietal. Also known as Calabrese, it may have been brought to Sicily from Calabria centuries ago. It possesses a deep, rich ruby hue; works well with oak and has the potential for aging. Often it is blended with international varietals, such as Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah.

THE WINE:

Diecigrani Nero D’Avola’s vines are located in the hills of western Sicily at an altitude of 80 meters (250 feet) above sea level. A manual harvest takes place in September. Maceration takes places in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks for 15 to 20 days depending on the vintage.

The quality of the fruit shows through, since no wood is used in the aging process. The wine is refined in the bottle for at least two months.

Enjoy Diecigrani Nero D’Avola young, although you may prefer it with 2 to 3 years of age.
