NOTE NERE Nero d’Avola

NOTO NERO D’AVOLA
DOC
SICILIA

The orange on the label alludes to the lively nature of this wine, produced using one of the most important native varieties of Sicily, and to the drive of two friends determined to set up a challenging and exciting business.

In the glass, it turns a more intense colour and releases a scent of red berries with hints of wild buckthorn. Balanced and harmonious on the palate, it has an excellent structure and conveys the warmth of the land from which it is born, evoking, with each sip, the brightness of the sunnier seasons.
